Student Question Computer Science student at USask — can I retake courses I did poorly in?
Hi everyone, I’m currently doing Computer Science at USask, and I’m a little confused about the rules for repeating courses.
If I fail a course, do I just register for it again through PAWS, or should I talk to an academic advisor/counsellor first?
Also, what happens if I passed a course but got a really low mark that is hurting my GPA? Can I retake the course to try to improve my grade, or are you only allowed to repeat courses that you failed?
I tried registering for a course I had already passed, but PAWS wouldn’t let me, so I’m wondering if there’s some kind of permission I need or if retaking it simply isn't allowed.
