The Board of Trustees of the San Mateo County Community College District has adopted
a policy (District Rules and Regulations, Section 6.17.1) in which three types of
courses are designated as repeatable:
Intercollegiate Athletics — Courses in which student athletes enroll to participate in an organized sport sponsored
by the district or a conditioning course which supports the organized competitive
sport may be designated as repeatable. (Title 5 Section 55040/ 55041)
Intercollegiate Academic or Vocational Competition — Courses that are specifically for participation in non-athletic competitive events
between students from different colleges may be designated as repeatable. The course
must be tied to the student’s participation in the competition. The event must be
sanctioned by a formal collegiate or industry governing body.
Required by CSU or UC for Completion of a Bachelor’s Degree — Repetition of the course is required by CSU or UC for completion of the bachelor’s
degree. Courses are limited to four attempts and this enrollment limitation applies
even if the student receives a substandard grade or a “W.” (Title 5 Section 55041)
These courses will be designated as “may be repeated for credit’’ in the College Catalog.
For more information on this policy, please consult your College counselor. For further
information, see Course Repetition under the Academic Standards section of this Catalog.
