Additional types of grades

Incomplete

Incomplete grades must be made up after the end of the term under the following guidelines, which include weekends and holidays:

  • Fall Term: Five weeks.
  • Spring Term: Three weeks
  • Summer Term: Two weeks

Work not completed within the time permitted will result in a grade of F. Incompletes may be given ONLY at the instructor's discretion when the instructor determines that extenuating circumstances exist.

Repeated Course

When a student repeats a course, only the last grade received, and credits earned will be used to calculate GPA. If a student withdraws while repeating a course, the original grade remains calculated in the GPA. A student may not attempt a course more than two times without having an assessment completed by an academic success coordinator from the Academic Support Center. A joint educational plan between a student and an academic success coordinator must be developed prior to a third attempt.

Pass/No-Credit

Courses completed under the Pass/No Credit guideline do grant credit toward graduation but are not calculated into a student's cumulative grade point average. Completion of such a course with the equivalent of "C" or better is entered as a P (Pass).

Completion with the equivalent of "D" or below is entered as NC (No Credit) on a student's permanent record.

Auditing a Course

Auditing a course permits a student to attend classes without fulfilling course requirements, such as assignments, quizzes, homework, or other course work. An audited course will not satisfy graduation requirements as the student will not be evaluated for the work completed, will not receive a letter grade, or receive course credit. 

A student who audits a course must pay tuition, fees, and book costs and must request within the first five (5) days of a term which courses will be taken on an audit basis. A student may change from auditing a course to taking it for credit ONLY within the first five (5) days of a term. This policy may differ for courses of less than full-term duration.
