AU-Audited courses will not be computed asattempted or successfully completed credit hours.REPEAT COURSES AND REMEDIATIONStudents will be allowed to repeat a failed course one time in order to obtain a passinggrade. Failed courses include course grades that fall below 70%, U-Unsatisfactory/Failure, W-Withdrawal or dropped course, or W/UWithdrawal/Unsatisfactory. Students who fail the repeated course may only attemptthe course a third time with permission of the Student Promotion Committee, however,Title IV aid will not be awarded for any additional attempts at that course. Except forCollege of Osteopathic Medicine pre-clinical courses, as addressed below, students willnot be awarded financial aid for repeated courses with an original grade of 70% orhigher.If a student repeats a course, both the original attempt and the repeated attempt will becounted for purposes of the maximum time frame and completion rate calculations ofthis Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.At the discretion of course faculty, as an alternative to repeating an entire course,students may be allowed to remediate a course grade of U-Unsatisfactory. Remediationof a course may include submitting additional work for evaluation or revising priorassignments. If a U-Unsatisfactory grade has been successfully remediated aU/number will replace the U on the transcript (i.e.U/70). The “U” denotes the initialgrade of unsatisfactory and the “number” represents the final recorded grade for theremediated course. A remediated grade will not exceed 70%. Only the “number” willbe factored into calculation of a student‟s cumulative GPA.MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE GRADE—POINT AVERAGE (GPA)All students in programs other than the College of Osteopathic Medicine are expectedto complete degree requirements after having attempted not more than 150 percent ofthe number of credit hours of course work required for the degree program, roundeddown to the nearest credit.
