An incomplete (“INC”) is granted by the office of academic affairs only in extreme circumstances such as a major illness or emergency. Incompletes not satisfied within the time frame specified by the course instructor and approved by the vice president of academic affairs will result in an “F” for the course. This time frame is typically 30 days from the end of a semester.
A grade of “R” indicates that the course was repeated for credit. Each attempt will show on the transcript, and the most recent grade earned is used in GPA calculations.
Only “D” or “F” grades may be replaced.
Repetition of Courses A student may repeat a course in which a grade of “D” or “F” was received. The student must complete the proper paperwork with the office of the registrar to have the passing grade replace the previous grade. Any previous grades will remain on the transcript, but only the last attempt will be counted in the cumulative grade point average. A student may not repeat at another institution and transfer in a course in which a grade of “D” or “F” has already been earned at Davis College. Davis College grades always take precedence over courses taken at other institutions. Replaced Grades and Repeated Courses A Replaced ("R") grade indicates that the course was repeated for credit, and the higher grade was used as a replacement of the lower in cumulative GPA calculations. Only "D" or "F" grades may be replaced. Both grades will remain on the official transcript, but only the higher grade will be computed in the cumulative GPA. The lower grade will be preceded by an "R" for "Replaced:” R (F), R (D-), R (D) or R (D+).
A Davis College course grade may be replaced only by the same Davis College course. The replaced course prefix and course title must correspond to the course prefix and course title that is to be replaced.
Students who retake courses with grades of "C" or better will have both courses listed on their transcript without notation, and both grades will be calculated into the cumulative GPA.
Students should be strongly advised to retake failed courses before taking additional courses.
Grade Point Average Semester GPA equals the semester quality point divided by the number of credit hours for the semester. The number of quality points is determined by the number of credit hours for the course multiplied by the grade points for each letter grade. The GPA considers both earned hours and attempted hours of one-thousand-level and above courses.
