These courses are counted each time the course is taken and will be included in the total number of attempted credit hours. When a course is completed, the credits are added to the total number of earned credits hours. Although not a requirement for SAP, students may not receive federal student aid for courses they have taken and received passing grades more than once. However, if the student repeats a course in which all previous attempts were failures, federal regulations allows for funding of these courses (providing that all other requirements are fully met).
