Repeating a Course
Students may register for a course a maximum of two times. All grades, including D, F, W, WA and WF, count toward the maximum of two registrations for a course. After two attempts, a student may register for the same class only after meeting with and getting approval to retake the class for a third time from the appropriate department head or academic program director.

Regardless of the number of attempts made, students may receive federal financial aid for no more than 30 attempted hours of developmental courses, including the co-requisite courses attached to ENG and MAT courses.
Note: The federal government has different policies and may not cover repeated courses. Students receiving financial aid should review and understand those policies.

Grading Scale
Each letter grade has an equivalent point value: A — 4 points, B — 3 points, C — 2, D — 1, and F — 0.
A student may determine the grade points for each course by multiplying the number of points a grade is worth times the number of credits the course carries. Thus, a B grade, worth three points, in a three-credit course is worth nine grade points; an A grade in the same three-credit course is worth 12 grade points. The grade point average is found by adding the total grade point values for all courses and dividing by the total number of credits attempted during the same period of time.
The following grades are used in calculating Grade Point Averages:
A -Excellent; earns credit hours; carries a value of four grade points per credit hour
B - Above average; earns credit hours; carries a value of three grade points per credit hour.
C - Average; earns credit hours; carries a value of two grade points per credit hour.
D - Below average; earns credit hours; carries a value of one grade point per credit hour.
F - Failure; earns no credit hours; carries zero grade points per credit hour.
I - Incomplete; indicates some work is incomplete in a course. “I” does not affect grade calculations and earns no credit hours. Note: An incomplete does affect student financial aid.
Refer to the Incomplete Policy for more information.
P - Grade recorded in lieu of A, B, or C earned in a course in which a student elected the course Pass/Non-pass option; earns credit, not used in GPA.
NP - Grade recorded in lieu of a D or F earned in a course in which a student elected the course Pass/Non-Pass option; does not earn credit, not used in GPA.
S - Satisfactory progress equivalent to a grade of C or higher.
U — Unsatisfactory progress equivalent to a grade of D or F.
