IC (INCOMPLETES)
Students receiving an “IC” in classes have additional weeks, at the discretion of the instructor, to
complete all requirements for a valid grade found on the grading scale. The “IC” grade changes to an
“LF” grade six weeks after the last day of the term if there is no other grade given or extension granted.
Grades of “IC” are considered as attempted but not completed when calculating percentage of
completion for financial aid when determining Satisfactory Academic Progress. The “IC” grade is not
calculated into the non-financial aid GPA until the grade has been changed.
R (RETAKE CLASS)
If a student repeats a course, the original course grade is changed to a grade of “R” (Repeat). The new
grade is used to calculate the grade point average. All courses attempted will be shown on the
permanent record, but the final cumulative grade point average reflects only the most recent course
attempt.
AU (AUDITING A CLASS)
Students may enroll in a class without desiring a grade. This is called “auditing.” An auditing student
must register and pay the same fees and meet the same course/program entrance requirements and
prerequisites as students enrolled for credit. The usual withdrawal/refund policy will apply.
No credit is given for a class which is audited. Therefore, the audited class does not count towards
credit load or for financial aid. When auditing a class, students may not change enrollment status at a
later date to receive credit for that class. Students may, however, retake the class as a regular student
and receive credit upon successful completion of the class.
To audit a class, the student must obtain written approval from the instructor of the class before the end
of the second week of that class. A Course Audit/Drop/Transfer form with the instructor’s signature
indicating the audit status must be returned to Student Records for processing.
A student may audit a course as part of an overall educational plan of self-improvement. A student may
not audit a course for the sole purpose of assisting another student academically with the course.
The LTC district reserves the right to restrict the auditing of certain classes.

Students are required to submit an Application for Graduation to Student Records prior to the last term’s
