What is the Policy for Students Who Need to Retake a Course after Failing?
If students need to retake a course because of a failing grade due
to plagiarism or other cause, the parent will need to reenroll them in the
course by contacting the Admissions department (540-636-2039). Instead of
creating a second course record, Admissions will just charge the fee without
updating the grading record or sending to shipping. Admissions will then send
an email to the Director of Grading who will allow the student to redo the
assignments for which they received a failing grade. They will not need to redo other assignments in
the course that have been completed successfully.
When the student resubmits their work for the failed assignments,
the highest and lowest grade they can receive is a 70 as long as it is satisfactory
and free of plagiarism.
Ultimately, this will allow the student to complete the course
with a low but passing grade, avoiding a failed course on their transcript.
