Developmental courses are not computed in semester or cumulative GPA, effective spring 1988.
Repeated Courses: When a student repeats a course (takes the same course more than once) at Galveston College, the hours and grade earned on the last graded course will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average, even when the last grade earned is lower. This is a Galveston College policy that is not necessarily honored at other colleges. Transcripts will indicate all courses and grades even when a course is not calculated into the GPA after being repeated. Adding and Dropping of Courses: Students who add courses will be subject to any additional tuition and fees as outlined in the current Galveston College Catalog. Refund information can be obtained from the Business Office. Courses may be added on the dates outlined in each semester schedule. Courses may be dropped without notation on the student’s record before the official census date of each semester. After the official census date, courses will be dropped with a grade of “W” (Withdrawn). The last day to drop a course with a “W” is listed in each semester’s/session’s published schedule. Forms for dropping or adding courses may be obtained from the Counseling Center. Administrative Withdrawal: A student who registers and does not attend class in accordance with College’s attendance policy will be administratively withdrawn upon written recommendation from the instructor. A grade of AWN will be assigned to the student. The grade of AWN is not computed in a student’s grade point average or semester hours earned. If an AWN is processed before a student completes the drop procedures, the AWN will become the grade of record. The student, instructor, and financial aid officer will receive copies of the AWN form. Withdrawal from College: Any student withdrawing from the College must obtain the proper forms from Student Services and secure clearance as indicated on the forms. Students must turn in identification cards to the Business Office at the time of withdrawal. All indebtedness to the College must be satisfied in the Business Office prior to withdrawal. When all financial affairs are satisfactorily arranged, student grades and transcripts will become available. Students who do not complete all forms will receive a grade(s) of “F.” The date of withdrawal will be the date the form is completed and the above conditions are satisfied. The last day to completely withdraw from school is noted in each semester calendar. Withdrawal for Military Service: If a student withdraws because he or she is called to military service, the College, at the student’s option, shall: § Grant a student, who is eligible under the College’s guidelines, an incomplete grade in all courses which must be completed in the next long semester or a grade of “F” will be recorded; § Withdraw from all classes with a designated “Military Withdraw” on the students transcript; or 75
