Theapproved grade symbols and their definitions areas follows:Numerical QualityGrade Equivalent PointsA (Excellent) 90-100 4B (Good) 80-89 3C (Satisfactory) 70-79 2D (Passing) 60-69 1F (Failure) 59 and below 0The following symbols, which have no qualitypoint values, are also used:IA student, who is passing the course buthas failed to complete all courserequirements (e.g., the final examination)due to illness or a grave emergency. The“I” must be removed by completion <strong>of</strong> therequirements <strong>of</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong> the course withinthe first seven weeks <strong>of</strong> the next semester inwhich the student enrolls at <strong>Cheyney</strong><strong>University</strong> or it automatically becomes an"F.” Students who are not enrolled in thenext semester must complete removalprocess within one academic year.IP (Departmentally-designated self-pacedcourses) credits may be earned bycompletion <strong>of</strong> the required assignmentsthrough consecutive enrollment.Interruption will result in the IP converting toan F.CRCourse(s) accepted as transfer credit(s) butnot calculated in the grade point average.[ ] Symbol denotes that a course has beenrepeated.WC The student <strong>of</strong>ficially withdraws, within theestablished deadline. “WC” hours do notcount as hours attempted or in the gradepointaverage.- 29 -


Classification, Mandatory Class AttendanceWThis administrative symbol is used when astudent is permitted to withdraw from theuniversity.AUD Course was audited - does not carrycredit.A student must repeat any required course inwhich a grade <strong>of</strong> "F" (Failing) was earned.Although not a requirement, students mayrepeat other courses for which "F" grades havebeen earned. To receive credit, repeat coursesmust be taken at <strong>Cheyney</strong> <strong>University</strong>.A course may be repeated only three times.That is, students have only three chances toimprove the grade in a course. The gradeearned on the second attempt to improve thegrade will be used to determine the meeting <strong>of</strong>graduation requirements. Courses may not berepeated where a grade <strong>of</strong> "C" or better hasbeen earned.All matters relating to course work (including“NGR’s”, incorrectly dropped courses, andwithdrawal requests) must be addressed by theend <strong>of</strong> the next semester in which the student isregistered. Students are cautioned to examinetheir records very carefully to ensure that allproblems are resolved in the required period.Grades and Financial ClearanceBills must be paid according to the scheduleestablished by the Office <strong>of</strong> Business Affairs. If thefinancial obligations for a semester are not met,no grades will be entered into the student'srecord and the student must repeat all coursestaken.On-line RegistrationThe <strong>University</strong> uses on-line registration.Cross Registration<strong>Cheyney</strong> and West Chester universities have anagreement which allows cross registration. Crossregistration is open to all full-time <strong>Cheyney</strong>students and requires prior written approval. Forfurther information please contact yourAcademic Advisor or the Office <strong>of</strong> the Registrar.Courses Taken at Other InstitutionsStudents wishing to attend another accreditedinstitution while matriculating at <strong>Cheyney</strong><strong>University</strong> must obtain written approval prior toregistering for the course(s).

Onlymatriculating students are eligible to receivecredit for approved CLEP courses.Mandatory Class AttendanceStudents are required to attend every assignedmeeting <strong>of</strong> all classes for which they’reregistered. If there is an absence, the studentmust inform the instructor before the expectedabsence. The instructor will determine whetherdocumentation justifying an absence is sufficient.Students should provide the neededdocumentation before the absence wheneverpossible. It is the student's responsibility to makeup assignments, tests, etc. and to obtain anymissed information.A student is allowed (i.e., will not be penalizedfor) unexcused absences that equal the number<strong>of</strong> credits for the course. The penalty forexcessive unexcused absences is the lowering <strong>of</strong>the final grade by one letter for each unexcusedabsence above the number <strong>of</strong> course credits.EXAMPLE: Freshman English I, Speech, andAfrican Art, among other courses, are threecredit courses. A student in any <strong>of</strong> these, or inother three-credit courses, may exercise threeunexcused absences without a penalty.However, for each unexcused absence abovethree, the student's final grade will be lowered bythat number. In the example above, if a studenthas a grade <strong>of</strong> “B” and four unexcusedabsences, the student will receive a "C" in thecourse. For a student with a class average <strong>of</strong> an"A," but who has six unexcused absences, thehighest grade to be awarded is "D.”- 30 -


Dropping A Course, Grade-Point Average, Academic Probation And SuspensionDropping a CourseA student wishing to drop a course must securethe appropriate form from the Office <strong>of</strong> theRegistrar or the university website. The form mustbe signed by the appropriate university <strong>of</strong>ficials.The completed form must then be returned tothe Office <strong>of</strong> the Registrar. A student who stopsattending a course without following thisprocedure may receive a failing grade. Afterthe fourth week <strong>of</strong> classes, and up to two weeksbefore the end <strong>of</strong> the semester, a studentwithdrawing from a course receives a “WC” (i.e.,“withdrawal from class”) upon the filing <strong>of</strong> acourse withdrawal form. These letters will beentered on the student's permanent record.Grade-Point AverageThe four-point system is used in computing thegrade-point average <strong>of</strong> all students. Under thissystem, a student receives four quality points foreach semester hour <strong>of</strong> “A”; three points for eachsemester hour <strong>of</strong> “B”; two points for “C”; onepoint for “D”; and no quality points for an “F” or“WC.” A student's grade point average isobtained by dividing the total number <strong>of</strong> qualitypoints earned by the number <strong>of</strong> semester hourscarried. An example <strong>of</strong> how to calculate thegrade point average is as follows:GradeQualityPointsSemesterHoursQualityPoints XSemesterHours1 st A 4 3 12Course2 nd B 3 3 9Course3 rd C 2 2 4Course4 th D 1 3 3Course5 th F 0 2 0CourseTOTAL 13 28In this case, 28 ÷13 = 2.15 (which is the gradepoint average for the semester).When a course is repeated, the higher grade isused in computing the student's grade pointaverage. However, both grades remain on thestudent's record.Dean's ListTo be placed on the Dean’s List, the student mustcarry at least 12 semester hours <strong>of</strong> creditexclusive <strong>of</strong> developmental courses and earn agrade point average <strong>of</strong> 3.5 or better during thesemester.Academic ExcellenceFull time students with a semester grade pointaverage between 3.25 and 3.49 are cited foracademic excellence.Academic Probation and SuspensionProbationStudents whose cumulative averages fall belowthe minimum for maintaining class standing areplaced on academic probation.
