Q: Am I required to have a least a C in major courses?
Q: If I make a D do I have to retake the course?
A: A D is considered a passing grade and you are not required to repeat the course However, graduation requirements are a 2.5 cumulative and OU grade point average in overall course work, upper-division major courses, and upper division business courses The University of Oklahoma's repeat policy is as follows:
Students may not repeat a course in which they earned a grade of A or B, unless the course is one in which there is a change of subject matter (e.g., SLEP, Independent Study).
A student may repeat up to four courses, not to exceed 18 hours, in which the original grade was D or F and have only the second grade count in the calculation of the student's retention/graduation grade point average. Students who repeat courses beyond the first four courses of D or F may do so with both the original grades and repeat grades included in the calculation of the retention/graduation grade point average.
