Grading and Course Forgiveness
Course Forgiveness
-
Only undergraduate students are eligible for Course Forgiveness.
-
Students can use as many as four times for lower division courses and once for upper division courses.
-
If a student receives a C- or lower in a class, the student has the option to repeat the course using Course Forgiveness. While the original grade will remain on the student's records, the grade earned in the repeat (whether higher or lower than the original grade) will be used in place of the earlier grade in calculation of grade point averages.
-
In the semester that a student wants to repeat a course, s/he must file a Course Forgiveness Form in the Office of the Registrar before the end of the add period.
-
The repeated course must have the same number and title as the original course.
-
Classes can only be repeated for forgiveness twice.
-
Incomplete Work
-
An Incomplete indicates that a portion of the required coursework has not been completed during the regular semester due to unforeseen, but justifiable reasons and earning course credit is still possible.
- It is the student's responsibility to bring relevant information to the instructor and to reach an agreement with the instructor as to how the remaining course requirements will be fulfilled.
- An Incomplete is not appropriate if attendance of a major portion of class is necessary the next time it is offered. Do not re-enroll in the same course to make up an Incomplete.
- The conditions for the removal of the Incomplete will be put in writing and kept on file in the department office until the Incomplete is removed or the one-year time limit has lapsed.
- Once the student fulfills the agreed conditions of the Incomplete, the instructor of record will submit a grade change.
- If the student does not fulfill the conditions of the Incomplete before one calendar year has passed, the “I” will be changed to an “IC” which is computed as a failing grade in your GPA.
