Course Completion
Students are expected to successfully complete at least 70% of the semester credit hours attempted. This is calculated by evaluating the ratio of cumulative hours attempted vs. earned. Attempted hours are those credits for which a student is registered for on the official record date (according to the published Academic Calendar) of each term or session, including mini sessions and summer terms and all accepted transfer credits (even for courses taken during periods when the student was not receiving financial aid, and periods of dual enrollment). Earned hours are those credits for which a student receives a passing grade (according to Grade Standards published in the Undergraduate Catalog.
Courses with grades of A, B, C, D, P, S, and CR are considered as attempted and earned credit hours. Courses with grades of F, G, U, W, WC, WF, WM, WP, NR, DF, DP, XM and DR are considered as credit hours attempted, but not earned. Incomplete courses (with a grade of I) are considered as attempted hours until a final grade is posted. Students are required to request a re-evaluation after successful completion of an incomplete course. Repeated course hours (with a grade of R) are included as attempted hours, but are excluded from earned hours regardless of course grade. Withdrawn courses are considered attempted credits, but are excluded from earned credits regardless of the reason for withdrawal.
