The law generally requires that written consent of the student be received before personally identifiable data about the student is released.

A Excellent 4.0 A- Excellent 3.7 B+ Good 3.3 B Good 3.0 B- Good 2.7 C+ Standard 2.3 C Standard 2.0 C- Standard 1.7 D+ Sub-Standard 1.3 D Sub-Standard 1.0 D- Sub-Standard 1.0 E Failure 0.0 UW Unofficial Withdrawal 0.0 To calculate a cumulative GPA the total number of grade points (the number of credit hours per course multiplied by the numeric points listed above for the grade) is divided by the total number of credit hours. Courses coded AR (academic renewal) and RP (repeat), are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours or the total hours completed. Courses coded ND (non-degree) are not used in computing the GPA or the graduation hours completed, but they are included in computing the total hours completed. Courses with the following notations in the grade column are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours or the total hours completed. AU-Audit • Indicates the student was allowed to sit in a class without earning credit or a grade. • Students who fail to attend class without withdrawing may be issued a withdrawal (W). See Audit Course Registration section. CR-Credit • The student registered for a course on a pass/fail basis and earned at least a C-. See CR/NC Registration section. • Certain courses are offered only on a credit/no credit basis and letter grades are not given. I - Incomplete • The student was unable to complete the course for a legitimate reason (such as accident or illness) after having completed a substantial portion of the required work. • A written agreement between the student and the instructor indicates the work still to be done and the deadline for its completion. • The student may complete remaining work without re-registering or attending the class during a subsequent quarter. • Credit hours are not counted until a letter grade is posted. • All incomplete (I) courses must be completed prior to graduation. NC-No Credit • Indicates the student registered for a course on a pass/fail basis and earned less than a C-. • Students who stop attending class without withdrawing will not receive an NC but will be given an unofficial withdrawal (UW) which is counted as an E in the GPA. See CR/NC Registration section. • Certain courses are offered only on a credit/no credit basis and letter grades are not given. NG-No Grade Reported • The instructor has not yet reported a grade for the course. This symbol is used for the quarterly Report of Grades only. A course without a grade will not appear on the student's transcript. T-Temporary Grade • The course is being continued in the subsequent quarter and a grade and credits will be calculated when the course is complete and a letter grade has been issued. The "T" grade is approved for specific courses only. • In the case where a student requires continued individualized instruction and advising by a faculty member, the student must register for the course again, and the original "T" grade will remain permanently on the student's transcript without credit. UW - Unofficial Withdrawal • Indicates the student stopped attending the course without officially withdrawing. UW's are calculated as E's in the student's quarterly and cumulative grade point averages. W-Withdrawal • The student withdrew from a course between the third and seventh week. Withdrawals from individual courses are not allowed after the sixth week of instruction. Students may completely withdraw from school (drop all classes) up to and including the last day of instruction prior to final exam week. The notation, "Registered and Withdrew" will appear on the student transcript. Changing of Grades • Grades may be changed only by the instructor who submitted the original grade. • Students who feel their work has been evaluated unfairly should contact the instructor. • Students who chose to complete a course on a credit/no credit basis may petition the registrar's office to have a CR grade replaced by the earned letter grade. This would be appropriate for students who change their major or minor and need the letter grade to meet graduation requirements. Repeat Courses • Each course (unless specifically listed as repeatable for credit in the course description) may be used only once in cumulative hours and GPA. • A course will appear on the transcript each time it is completed, but it will be counted only once in total hours and only the most recent letter grade received will be used to calculate the GPA (CR is not considered a letter grade and will not cause a previous grade to be discounted). • Once a bachelor's degree has been posted to a student's perma nent record, courses used for that degree may not be repeated to improve the GPA. • Students who repeat a course should notify the Records Office and complete a Repeat Form. Academic Renewal Academic renewal allows students the opportunity to recalculate their GPA by ignoring grades of D+ or lower which were earned six or more years prior to the date of petition. • Courses completed prior to the awarding of a certificate, associate or bachelor degree do not qualify for academic renewal. • Students must be currently enrolled to apply for academic renewal. • Academic renewal may be requested only once during a student's academic career. • Applications for academic renewal and detailed policy informa tion are obtained from the Records Office.
