Grade Forgiveness

Effective autumn semester 2015, under Ohio State’s recently approved Grade Forgiveness Rule, students can petition to repeat a course in which they have previously earned credit. If the petition is approved, the second grade will replace the first in the calculation of the GPA. A maximum of three courses can be repeated under this arrangement. The new rule no longer limits “Forgiveness” to course work taken during the first year of college-level work, and the repetition no longer need be completed during the second year. Courses you have already repeated will not be eligible for application of this rule. Students who have already repeated three (or more) courses under the Freshman Forgiveness Rule will have no remaining eligibility under the new rule.
