Supplementary Fee for Courses Attempted More than Twice
A course that is repeated by a student more than twice at a public institution of higher education in Texas may not be reported for state funding. As a result, the institution must either pass the non-funded portion to all students, or charge a supplementary fee to the student who is repeating the course. Texas A&M has chosen to assess a supplementary fee to those students repeating a course more than twice.
A student attempting certain courses more than twice at Texas A&M University will be subject to a supplementary fee of $125 per semester credit hour ($375 for a 3 hour course) for the repeated course, in addition to tuition and required fees associated with the course. The general criteria for determining which courses are subject to the supplementary fee are:
A course is subject to the fee if a student has completed it twice at Texas A&M University with a grade of A, B, C, D, F, F* (academic dishonesty), S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory), I (incomplete), Q (authorized drop after the add/drop period) or X (no grade submitted).
Courses identified by the University as repeatable for credit are not subject to the fee. A schedule of repeated courses can be found at www.tamu.edu/admissions/records/3peat.html.
Courses dropped with no record (NR), no grade (NG) and withdrawals (W) are not counted as repeated courses.
Students will be notified at the time they register for a course that it has been taken twice at Texas A&M University and is subject to the supplementary fee.
