What to do if you Fail a Business Course

Belk College of Business students must complete all business courses with a minimum grade of "C" within two attempts.

Did you fail your first attempt?

• If you earn a "D" in a business course, you will need to retake it for a better grade. You need to fill out a Repeat Authorization Form and turn it into the BCOB Undergraduate Academic and Career Coaching Office. After it is processed, you will be notified and can sign up for the course for a second attempt.

• If you earn an "F" in a business course, you can sign up for the course for a second attempt with no additional action.

Are you interested in using one of your two Grade Replacements when you repeat the course?

• See our previous post about how to use a Grade Replacement HERE.

Did you fail your second attempt?

• You will not be able to pursue a business major that requires that course. Meet with your Academic and Career Coach to discuss your options.
