Students may repeat course work if they have not satisfactorily mastered course content. The gauge for mastery is indicated by the letter grade received for the class. Any grade of C or above indicates a satisfactory mastery of the course content. A grade lower than C or an instructor's recommendation gives the student the option to repeat the course for increased mastery and a higher grade which would replace the lower grade that qualified the student to make up the class. A student may not receive a grade higher than a B+ for repeated classes, except if the reason for repeating is due to an unusual circumstance or hardship. In the case of unusual circumstances or hardship, the principal shall give final approval for a grade higher than B+.

The rational and intent of repeating course work is to provide an opportunity for satisfactory mastery of course content. It is not intended as a means by which a student can enhance grade point average or class rank when the student has previously received a grade indicating satisfactory understanding of the course content.
