Students may repeat courses to improve their grade on a space available basis at the time they are scheduled to register. They will no longer need to wait until 30 days before the term begins. Students may repeat each course only once and only if they received a grade of CD or lower in the course.

The Official Grade UW Oshkosh Grade Point Policy
Starting for the Fall 2007 semester, the official UW Oshkosh grade point will only count UW Oshkosh courses. (Currently the University uses UW Oshkosh courses AND transfer courses in the official GPA.) This will NOT remove any previous transfer credits from your official grade point average. This will only impact transfer credits taken that will first appear on your transcript starting in Fall 2007.
Please check out the Question and Answers for details.
