The number of times any student can attempt a college-level or college-preparatory course at PHSC is limited to ______.

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 3

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is understanding how many times a student can try a college-level or college-preparatory course at PHSC. The policy sets the limit at three total attempts. This cap helps students address difficulties with targeted support (like tutoring or advising) and keeps progress toward degree goals on track. After two prior attempts, the third try is the final allowed one under normal policy, with avenues like advising or administrative review available if more help is needed. A smaller limit would be too restrictive for someone facing genuine challenges, while a larger limit could allow extended looping in the same course without prompting needed help.
