Repeatable upper-level (3000 - 4999) CW courses will count toward Upper-Level Coursework requirements each time the course is successfully completed. There are limits to the number of times a course can be repeated. Check MyUI for repeatable CW courses. If repeatable, the MyUI course summary page will indicate how many times the CW course can be taken for academic credit.
