A grade of C or higher is required for satisfactory completion of all courses.
To continue in the program a student may repeat a required course only one time, and may repeat no more than two required courses while enrolled in the program. The term “repeat” shall be interpreted to mean re-enrollment following withdrawal, drop or an unsatisfactory grade from a class.
