Students who enrolled in a Texas public institution may not drop more than six courses with a ”W” grade. “Double-dipping” is using the same course to fulfill two different requirements in a degree plan. Normally, students may not double-dip more than 6-7 hours across their degree plan. Anything beyond that must be approved by the Dean. Students who make an F in a course can get credit only by repeating the course. Students who want to repeat courses to improve their GPA at SFA must repeat those courses at SFA. For any course repeated at SFA, the grade earned in the most recent enrollment will be used to calculate the GPA. Credit hours for courses taken at other institutions to replace credit hours earned at SFA may be used to meet graduation credit-hour requirements, but not for GPA calculation.
