Grades & Quality Points Final grades are available through FLVC.org following the close of each term. Grades may be withheld by the college for reasons such as unpaid parking fines and fees, overdue library books, incomplete admissions records, disciplinary actions, academic probation, and expulsion. Students who live in the College Residence Hall are responsible for loss, damages, or destruction of College supplied furnishings and equipment. Failure to make restitution to the College for loss, damages, or destruction of College supplied furnishings and equipment will result in the withholding of grades/transcripts. A student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) is derived from the grading system/ quality point scale: Grading System/Quality Point Scale Numerical Grade Letter Grade Quality Points 90-100 A 4 80-89 B 3 70-79 C 2 60-69 D 1 Below 60 F 0 Incomplete I 0 Withdrawn or Dropped W 0 Audit X 0 How to Compute Grade Point Average (GPA) The student’s GPA is used in determining academic standing, graduation readiness, eligibility for the Dean’s List, and in other academically related decisions. Each letter grade has a quality point value on the Grading System/Quality Point Scale. A student may determine the grade points for his/her grade in each course by multiplying the number of quality points a grade is worth times the number of semester hours the course carries. Thus a B (worth 3 quality points) in a 3-semester-hour course earns 9 quality points, and an A (worth 4 quality points) in the same 3-semester-hour course earns 12 quality points. The cumulative grade point average is determined by dividing the total quality points earned by the total semester hours for GPA (including transfer work). Don’t let parking fines and overdue library books keep you from accessing final grades online at www.flvc.org. 12 Student Handbook
Financial Aid The FA Office will assist you in determining your eligibility for financial aid. To be considered for FA, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to include Chipola on your list of schools designated to receive the FAFSA and include the Chipola institutional code—001472. Once the FAFSA is analyzed by the Federal Government, a process that usually takes 4-6 weeks, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). Chipola will receive the same information electronically and will begin the financial aid tracking process. When the tracking process is complete, you should receive an award notice. All Financial Aid Awards are estimates and are subject to change. You must be fully admitted to Chipola in a degree-seeking program and meet all College financial aid standards of satisfactory progress to quality for financial aid. Additionally, students planning to use financial aid to pay tuition must have a completed financial aid file in the Chipola College financial Aid Office by established deadlines posted on the College Calendar. The types of financial aid assistance available include: Federal Pell Grants Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants Federal Work Study Program Funds Florida Student Assistance Grants Florida Bright Futures Scholarships State Scholarships Institutional Scholarships Financial Aid Office: Bldg, A, Room 157 (850) 718-2293 Apply early and complete your financial aid file at least six weeks before you are scheduled to register for classes.
