Grade Point Average (GPA) A “grade point average” is computed each term by dividing the total grade points earned by the total units attempted. For example, a student who earns a grade of A in six units, B in three units, C in three units, D in three units, and F in two and one-half units would have a grade-point average of 2.40. The computation is shown below: 6 units A ................... x 4 equals.........24 grade points 3 units B .................... x 3 equals...........9 grade points 3 units C .................... x 2 equals...........6 grade points 3 units D ................... x 1 equals...........3 grade points 2½ units F ................. x 0 equals...........0 grade points 17½ units............... total equals........42 grade points The 42 grade points divided by 17½ units equals a 2.40 grade point average. “Cumulative grade point average” refers to the combined grade point average earned for all terms in which a student has been enrolled in college-level work at CR. Pass/No Pass (P/NP) Some courses are offered on a Pass/No Pass grade option basis–see course description listings. Regulations for Pass/No Pass are: 1. “Pass” is granted if a student satisfactorily completes the minimum course requirements (i.e., earns a C grade or better). 2. “No Pass” is granted when a student does not satisfactorily complete the basic course requirements. There is no grade point average penalty attached to a “no pass” grade, however; NPs are considered as nonprogress (see Probation and Dismissal Policies which follow). No units are received/awarded for NP grades. 3. Unit credit is awarded for a Pass grade. 4. Units on a Pass/No Pass basis shall be disregarded in determining a grade point average for all purposes for which a grade point average is required. 5. The Pass/No Pass option applies only to courses so identified in this catalog’s course descriptions or in the Schedule of Classes. 6. Students must file their request for Pass/No Pass grading in the Admissions and Records Office at the Eureka campus or Administrative offices at branch campuses or instructional sites. The deadlines to file these requests are listed in each term’s class schedule. Incomplete Grades Under extenuating circumstances, instructors may grant students a grade of Incomplete (“I”) in a course. To qualify for an “I” grade, students must meet the following conditions: • Most of the academic course work must have already been completed and there must be justifiable, extenuating circumstances that prevent the student from completing the course in the current term. • The “I” must be made up no later than one semester following the end of the term in which it was assigned (not including summer or winter sessions). In addition, students should understand that: • Students may not re-enroll in a course in which they have received an “I” grade. Students work independently with instructors to complete the remaining course requirements, including assignments, projects, and exams. • If the work is not completed by the following term, the student will receive an “F” grade. Grade Challenges The grade recorded for a student in any course is determined by the faculty member; and in the absence of error, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, is considered final. A student who believes that a grade has been assigned on the basis of error, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence may appeal that grade to the faculty member who assigned it and then, if necessary, to the appropriate Division or Campus Dean. The decision of the Dean may be appealed by the student or the faculty member to the Board of Trustees. In accordance with Cal. Admin. Code title 5, s55760 Adding Courses After the Semester Begins Students may be allowed to add classes after the semester begins with instructor approval. 26 College of the Redwoods Web Site - www.redwoods.edu
academic standards COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS President’s Honor List The President’s Honor List recognizes students who: • have completed nine or more graded units in courses numbered 1-199, with a minimum grade point average of 3.75; and • have received no F, D, or I grades; and • are not on progress probation. 2010-2011 CATALOG Vice President’s Honors List The Vice President’s Honors List recognizes students who: • have completed nine or more graded credit units in courses numbered 1-199, with a minimum grade point average of 3.50 - 3.74; and • have received no F, D, or I grades; and • are not on progress probation Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission Failure to fulfill academic responsibilities is a serious matter. Accordingly, the following probation and dismissal policies have been established by the College. Academic Probation All students who have attempted at least 12 semester units and have earned a cumulative grade point average below 2.0 shall be placed on Level I academic probation. If the student enrolls for additional units at CR after being placed on Level I probation, the following outcomes are possible: · Possible Outcome 1: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA meets or exceeds 2.0. Result: The student is returned to “good standing” status with the college. · Possible Outcome 2: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.0; but the term GPA meets or exceeds 2.0. Result: The student remains on Level I probation with the college. · Possible Outcome 3: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.0; and the term GPA is also less than 2.0. Result: The student is placed on Level II probation with the college. If the student enrolls for additional units at CR after being placed on Level II probation, the following outcomes are possible: · Possible Outcome 1: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA meets or exceeds 2.0; and the term GPA also meets or exceeds 2.0. Result: The student is returned to “good standing” status with the college. · Possible Outcome 2: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.0; but the term GPA meets or exceeds 2.0. Result: The student remains on Level II Probation. · Possible Outcome 3: At the end of the term, the student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.0; and the term GPA is also less than 2.0. Result: The student will be “Subject to Dismissal” from the college; and a block will be placed on his/ her subsequent registration by the Vice President, Student Development. Unless the student files and has approved by the Vice President a “Petition for Reinstatement,” the student will not be able to re-enroll at the college until at least one regular semester has passed. Progress Probation Any student who has attempted at least 12 semester units shall be placed on Progress Probation if he or she accumulates an excessive number of W, I, or NP units. Progress Probation will occur if the student has taken these units at CR or if the student has transferred any or all of these units from another college. Progress Probation will remain in effect until the percentage of units in which the student received a W, I, or NP becomes less than 50-percent. If the student remains on Progress Probation for three consecutive semesters, the student will be “Subject to Dismissal” from the College, and a block will be placed on his/her subsequent registration by the Dean of Student Development. Unless the student files an Academic Recovery Plan with an Advisor, the student will not be able to re-enroll at the College until at least one regular semester has passed. All questions about progress probation or dismissal should be addressed by a college counselor or advisor. Qualifications for Readmission After dismissal, a student may apply for readmission: 1. after an absence of one or more semesters; or 2. after completing five or more units with a 2.0 or better grade point average (excluding P/NP) at another regionally accredited college. Students dismissed a second time must meet with a counselor to complete an Academic Recovery Plan prior to readmission. Academic Renewal Under certain conditions, a student may request that previous terms where substandard academic performance has been recorded on his/her permanent academic record be eliminated in the computation of the cumulative grade point average. Interested students should refer to College of the Redwoods Administrative Regulation 503.02 and consult with an academic advisor/counselor. Course Repetition In accordance with Title 5, sections 55040-55046 the Redwoods district course repetition policy is as follows (subject to change per Chancellor’s Office direction): Grade Alleviation: A student who has earned a grade of D, F, NC, or NP in a credit course designated as nonrepeatable in Redwoods district may repeat the course two times for the purpose of grade alleviation. Each grade will replace the prior grade in the grade point average calculation. (continued) College of the Redwoods - Making A Difference 27
