8. Treatment of Grades and 信贷s.
A. Treatment of Grades.
信贷: The unit by which academic work is measured.
Registered 信贷s: The total number of credits for which a student is officially enrolled at the end of the drop/add period each term. Registered credits include repeat coursework, developmental coursework and consortium credits. Registered credits do not include transfer credits or audits.
完成了对. Non-completed 信贷s: (Used to calculate percent of completion) Completed credits include those with only the grades of A, B, C, D, S and P. Non-completed credits include those with grades of F, FN, FW, I, IP, N, NC, W or Z. Non-completed credits will be treated in the calculation as attempted, but not completed.
级分: Calculated using courses for which a student receives a letter grade of A, B, C, D or F, FN, FW. Grade points are not calculated for grades of I, IP, NC, P, S, W or Z. (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F, FN or FW=0.)总绩点是由该成绩的绩点值乘以课程学分数所得的总绩点. See academic transcript for explanation of historical grading annotations not addressed in this policy.
Grade Point Average (GPA): The quotient of the student’s grade point total divided by the grade point credits. Each grade report shows the student’s GPA for the term and cumulative GPA since admission. “P” does not carry a grade point value, and as such, is not calculated in the GPA. A “P” will not improve the student’s GPA. However, “P” credits count toward total registered credits.
不完整的: An “I” is assigned only in exceptional circumstances, and is a temporary grade. An “I” grade will automatically become an “F” (if course is offered Pass/No 信贷, 如果没有令人满意地完成课程作业的要求，“I”将在下学期结束时自动成为N/C.
Non-Reported Grades: If an instructor does not report a letter grade, a “Z” is assigned to the course. “Z” does not carry a grade point value, and as such, is not calculated in the GPA. However, “Z” credits count toward total registered credits.
B. Academic Amnesty (Fresh Start).
When reviewing a student’s 金融援助 standing under this policy, all credits for which the student has been granted academic amnesty (“fresh start”) shall be 包括 in the qualitative (GPA) and quantitative (Completion Rate/Maximum Timeframe) measurements.
C. 审计的课程.
Audited courses are not funded with 金融援助 and are not 包括 in any 金融援助 Satisfactory Academic Progress measurement(s).
D. Consortium 信贷s.
信贷s for which 金融援助 is received under a consortium agreement will be recorded on the student’s record. These consortium credits will be 包括 when determining the student’s cumulative GPA, completion percentage and maximum time frame calculations.
E. Remedial 信贷s.
补救/发展课程(课程编号低于1000)将包括在确定学生的累积GPA时，不包括在累积完成百分比中. Up to 30 remedial/developmental credits shall be excluded when calculating the student’s maximum timeframe.
F. 重复的课程.
Students are allowed to repeat courses for the purpose of passing or improving their grade. A student shall not be permitted to receive financial aid for more than one repetition of a previously passed course. All repeated courses are initially 包括 in the GPA and completion rate calculations. All credits are 包括 when determining if the student has exceeded the maximum timeframe criteria.
If they so choose, it is the student’s responsibility to petition to the Admissions and Records Office to have their GPA adjusted after repeating a course. If a petition is approved, only the course with the highest grade is 包括 in the student’s cumulative GPA. See 正规赌博十大网站 policy regarding course repetition, number of times a course may be repeated and the total number of course repetitions allowed.
G. 转移学分.
被正规赌博十大网站接受并用于学生课程要求的转学分应计入已尝试和完成的学分，以计算累计完成百分比. Grades associated with these credits (if any) shall not be used in calculating cumulative GPA.
Transfer credits accepted by 正规赌博十大网站 and applied toward the student’s general education, program or degree requirements shall apply toward the maximum timeframe calculation.
H. 取款.
信贷s for which a grade of “W” is received are considered attempted, but not successfully completed credits. The “W” grade does not impact GPA but DOES negatively impact the student’s cumulative completion percentage.
