Where a student receives a grade of “D” in a major course or English 101 or 102, or Math 111, the
course must be repeated until a grade of “C” is earned. “I”, Incomplete, is given in exceptional cases
where the student had been passing and gives evidence of ability to pass the course if granted an opportunity
to complete an assignment which was not completed by the termination of the course. Grades
of “I” must be removed within the first nine weeks of the subsequent semester in residence. Grades of
“I” are not removed within the first nine weeks of the subsequent semester in residence automatically
become failing grades of “F”. To remove grades of “I”, the faculty member must report the change on a
Change of Grade Form to the Office of Enrollment Management by the deadline for submission of
mid-term grades.
The grade of “X” is assigned to students who complete coursework at a satisfactory level, but fail to
take the final exam. Students who receive the required excuse may request a make-up exam from the
instructor within the first weeks of the subsequent next semester.
The grade of “Z” is assigned when a student needs to re-enroll in a course to satisfy the final requirements
of one part of the course. Students must re-enroll in the delinquent part of the course during
the subsequent semester.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
A semester average is obtained by dividing the total number of credit hours elected during one
semester into the total number of quality points received during the same semester. A cumulative average
is found by dividing the total number of credit hours elected into the total number of quality
points received.
