For graduate courses, students must receive a grade of 2.0 (C) or better. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) is required for graduation. Students who are not achieving satisfactory academic progress will be notified in writing by the Office of the Registrar.
Credit Deficiency Removal/ Repeating Courses Graded courses may be repeated only once. Courses may be repeated to replace an F (0), to meet college requirements, or to improve a student’s grade point average. The student must repeat the same course. Another course may be substituted only with the approval of an Academic Advisor. Credit will be awarded only for one of the two courses and the higher of the two grades will be calculated in the grade point average. The original grade remains on the transcript. It is the student’s responsibility to submit a completed credit deficiency form from the Office of the Registrar to complete the process.
Incomplete Grades In exceptional cases, students who have been unable to complete the work of a course may petition to receive a grade of INC. Such requests will be granted only for extraordinary reasons, e.g., serious prolonged illness. A form for each INC must be signed by the faculty member and by the student. The form is submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the faculty member with the final grade roster. Incomplete grades from the fall semester must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar by February 1. Spring and summer incomplete grades must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar by October 1. Incomplete grades not received by the deadline automatically become an F (0). In extraordinary circumstances, the Registrar, in consultation with the student and faculty member, may extend the INC, but not beyond the final day of that semester/ term. If the work is not completed by the end of the semester/term, the INC automatically becomes an F (0). Note: Students on Academic Probation may not receive an Incomplete grade.
Grade Changes Changes in any assigned grade will not be made beyond one semester after the initial awarding of the grade. A student who, after consultation with the faculty member, wishes to challenge a grade on a transcript or grade report, should follow procedures outlined in the Student Handbook
Academic Review Board The Academic Review Board reviews petitions for exceptions to academic policies and monitors satisfactory academic progress of students towards degree completion. Students may put the request in writing to their Academic Advisor.
