A letter academicgrade and a numeric work ethics grade is issued for eachcourse in which a student was enrolled.Grading SystemEvaluation of each student’s progress, conduct, andattitude is continuous. Instructors report irregularity inattendance and progress to the Dean of Academic Affairs orVice President of Academic Affairs whereby corrective stepsmay be taken to assure quality training. At the end of eachquarter, the achievement of each student is reported using thefollowing system of grade assignment:A (4) Excellent 90-100B (3) Good 80-89C (2) Average 70-79D (1) Below Average 60-69F (0) Failure below 0-59IIncompleteIPIn-ProgressWWithdrawnAUAudit-no credit earnedEXCredit by ExemptionTRTransfer CreditACArticulated CreditA grade of “I” (incomplete) may be issued to anystudent not completing all required coursework by the end ofthe quarter. If the incomplete “I” is not removed before the10th class day of the following quarter, it will be recorded asa failure “F” on the student’s official transcript.A grade of “IP,” (in progress), indicates the coursecontinues beyond the end of the quarter. The final grade isreported at the end of the following quarter.A grade of “W” indicates the student withdrew fromschool prior to completion of the course(s).A grade of “AU” indicates the student audited thecourse. A student is permitted to audit a course/ program andattend classes without meeting all admission requirementsfor the course/program and without receiving credit.Grades are based upon quality and quantity ofachievement in both the classroom and the laboratory.Students failing to maintain a standard of satisfactoryprogress will be withdrawn from Wiregrass GeorgiaTechnical College.CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGEThe formula for calculating grade point average is:The Sum of Quality Points Earned divided by theNumber of Credit Hours AttemptedQuality Points Earned equals the credit hour value of acourse times the value of the grade received.Subjects receiving grades “I, IP, W, TR, AC or EX” arenot included in the GPA calculation.Students will be awarded quality points for each creditcourse grade according to the following scale:A = 4 Quality PointsB = 3 Quality PointsC = 2 Quality PointsD = 1 Quality PointF = 0 Quality PointsThe quality points awarded are then multiplied by thecredits for that course to get the quality points earned for thecourse. Quality points earned for all courses are then addedtogether and divided by the total credits for the quarter toobtain the quarterly grade point average (GPA).Grades of “W” are not calculated in GPA. Hourstransferred in via course exemption and/or prior credit fortraining are not counted in GPA.Example:Grade Quality Points x Credits = Quality Points EarnedA 4 x 5 = 20B 3 x 10 = 30C 2 x 5 = 10Total Credits 20Total Quality Points Earned 60Grade Point Average = 60 / 20 = 3.0FORFEITURE OF CREDITBy registering for and attending courses for which thestudent has already received credit, a student forfeits the27

previous credit in the course for graduation purposes. Thestudent’s official grade in the course will be the one earnedon repetition. Although both grades remain on the record andare computed in the cumulative grade point average, only thefinal grade will be calculated for the purpose of graduationrequirements.PRESIDENT’S LISTStudents who complete 12 or more credit hours (with nogrades of “I”) in a quarter and achieve a 3.66 or better gradepoint average will be designated as honor roll students andwill be recognized on the President’s List.SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC STANDINGStudents must maintain a minimum 2.0 quarterly GPA tobe in satisfactory academic standing.Academic WarningThe first quarter a student fails to earn a 2.0 quarterlygrade point average, he or she will be placed on academicwarning. The purpose of this warning is to alert the studentthat their academic performance is not acceptable and toinform them of the consequences if their quarterly GPAdoes not meet the 2.0 requirement during the next quarterof enrollment. The student will receive written notification,and completion of the Study Skills program through theAcademic Support Center will be recommended.Academic ProbationStudents placed on academic warning must attain aminimum 2.0 quarterly GPA during the next quarter ofattendance in order to remove themselves from academicwarning status. Students who fail to do so will receivewritten notification that they have been placed on academicprobation and will be required to complete the Study Skillsprogram through the Academic Support Center. Studentswill be unable to register for subsequent quarters until theStudy Skills requirements are met. Students on academicprobation may not be allowed to participate in online ortransient classes and may not graduate while on probation.Probationary status is reflected on the academic transcript.Note: Probation and dismissal rules may differ forcertain Health Occupations programs For certain healthoccupations which require licensure, once programaccepted, students will be required to maintain the progressstandards specifically designed for their particular program.Radiology, Surgical Technology, Dental Assisting, DentalHygiene, Practical Nursing, and Paramedic Technologyrequire a minimum program GPA of 2.5. New students willreceive a written explanation of the satisfactory progressstandards for their particular program in accordance withWGTC and TCSG policies. In these programs, failure tomaintain the minimum GPA would result in dismissal fromthe program, but not the college. Students in these programswho fail to maintain specified standards will be referred tothe Academic Support Center for career assessment andadvising.Academic DismissalStudents who fail to remove themselves from academicprobation by attaining a minimum 2.0 GPA the next quarterof attendance after being placed on probation are subject toacademic dismissal and financial aid suspension. Studentsdismissed due to academic deficiency must appear beforethe Re-admit Committee to determine their status. In certaincircumstances, a student may be dismissed or suspendedfrom an academic program or the technical college withoutfirst being placed on probation. These circumstances mayinclude program specific GPA deficits, attendance issues,or other requirements as outlined in the program specificacademic requirements. Students dismissed under the abovecircumstances will be required to appear before the ReadmitCommittee prior to applying for readmission.

GradesGrades of I, IP, and W are not included in calculatinga student’s GPA, but with the exception of IP grades arecounted as coursework attempted.Grades received for learning support do not affect theGPA, but the hours are calculated in the formula to determinethe 67 percent completion rate.5.

If thestudent completed 60 percent or less of the term, thepercentage of the period completed is equal to the percentageof aid earned.The percentage completed will be computed asfollows:• Determine the calendar days completed in theenrollment period divided by the total calendar daysin the enrollment period (exclude scheduled breaksof 5 days or more and any days that a student wason approved leave of absence)• If this amount is less than or equal to 60 percent,multiply this amount by the scheduled awardamount, this is the amount earned by the studentless any applicable charges• If the student withdraws after the 60 percent mark,all Pell is earned and amount is equal to the aidthat could have been disbursed for that quarter lessapplicable charges.NOTE: Students who withdraw before completing theenrollment period are responsible for all charges they haveincurred.
