Repeats (Inadmissible) FAQs

• What is an inadmissible repeat?

  • An inadmissible repeat occurs when you repeat a course for which you have already received a passing grade.   

    Example: You took PSYCH 001 at Evergreen and earned a B, Summer 2019.  You registered for PSYC 1 at SJSU, Fall 2019.  PYSC 1 at SJSU is considered an inadmissible repeat.

• What happens when there is an inadmissible repeat in my record?

  • We will remove all credit earned from the second attempt.
