For Current Undergraduate Students in Food and Nutrition

• No forms are needed to repeat a course. The repeat will be applied automatically.
• To replace a D or F earned in an IUP course, the course must be repeated at IUP. A grade from a similar course from another institution will not replace an IUP earned grade.
• Only six repeat-with-replacement attempts are permitted for coursework taken through a student’s first bachelor’s degree. A single course can be repeated a maximum of two times.  
• If a course is repeated at another institution, the grade earned at IUP will not be replaced, but the credits from the other institution will be accepted to meet graduation requirements. However, if the original IUP grade was a D, only those credits will count toward the 120 required for graduation and the IUP grade will remain a D on the transcript.

• Forms are available from the department office (102 Ackerman).
• The form must be in the student’s file before clearance for graduation.
• If approved, the form will be signed by the department chairperson and the director of Academic Planning and Assessment.
• The student and advisor will receive a copy of the form.

• The computer registration system is used to for individual course withdrawals from an enrolled class after the deadline for drop/add has passed until the end of the first two-thirds of the academic term. See the Academic Calendar for deadline.
• Students should discuss withdrawal from a course with their adviser to understand the implications on their academic planning.
• Policies regarding course withdrawal and refunds can be found through the Office of the Bursar. As a courtesy, please notify the instructor via e-mail.

• Permission is required if a student wishes to schedule more than 17 credits.
• Application form is available in the department office.
• Application must be reviewed and approved by the student’s advisor and the associate dean.
• Application must be taken to the Scheduling Center prior to registration. At late registration, the form is presented to the terminal operator.

• Schedule an appointment with the instructor to see if a calculation error occur.
• If so, a change of grade form is completed by the instructor of the course for a change in grade, to add an omitted grade, or to change an incomplete grade.
• Changes must be completed within 180 days of issuance of the original grade.
• The student should monitor degree works to see that the grade is changed.
• If the instructor indicates that the grade is accurate, students have the option of filing a grade appeal, following the university’s Grade Appeal Process. The Grade Appeal Policy is printed in the undergraduate catalog.

You can do this by completing the Undergraduate Application for Graduate Coursework form. The policy states: “IUP undergraduate students with an academic grade point average of at least 2.6 who are within 32 semester hours of graduation are permitted, after receiving appropriate approvals, to take up to six semester hours of graduate work whether or not they have applied for acceptance into an IUP graduate program.

“Graduate hours so earned have no necessary bearing upon the meeting of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance is given or implied as to their later applicability toward graduate degrees should the students be admitted to IUP graduate programs. Should these credits later be approved toward a graduate degree program, they will be treated as transfer credits.”  

Note: Graduate credits earned and applied toward an undergraduate degree cannot also be applied toward a graduate degree.
