Grading Policies and Procedures
The specific policies and procedures to be used in applying the satisfactory progress standards are outlined below:
- Satisfactory progress will be evaluated at the end of each spring semester. (For the Federal Direct Loan, evaluation will be completed prior to the certification of the loan application.)
- Hours attempted for purposes of this policy will be defined as those for which a student receives a grade of A, B, C, D, E, F, I, IP, K, P, R, U, N, or W.
- For graduate students, grades of D, E, F, I, IP, P, R, U, N, and W will not qualify as successful completion of hours attempted.
- Non-credit remedial courses, courses taken for audit, and courses in which grades of "K" or "P" are received are not figured in the calculation of a student's GPA.
- If otherwise eligible, students will be given financial aid during a term in which they may be repeating a course. Financial aid can pay for the repeat of a passed class only one time.
- A student who fails to maintain satisfactory progress as defined will not be permitted to receive federal, state, or institutional financial aid.
