GRADE POINTS
A student's academic standing or grade point average is a means to evaluate the overall quality of work being done. In order to perform this measure, the following grade points are assigned:
W HAT THE G RADE M EANS
Grade Points
“F” Grade
The grade F is recorded if the student has failed the combined evaluation of work through the semester. A student who makes an “F” on the first semester of a sequence series of a course is not permitted to register for the succeeding sequences of the course before he or she has made up the failure . When a student has failed to complete the requirements of a course, the student may be given an “Incomplete” or “I” grade. The “I” grade is given only to a student whose work in a course has been qualitatively satisfactory (completed at least 75% of course requirements). All requirements to remove an “I” must be completed within six weeks of the following semester in which the grade was given. If requirements are not completed within the six weeks period, the grade of “F” will be assigned . A student who wishes to withdraw from a course or courses within the first twelve weeks of the semester may do so without the credit hours being computed as hours attempted. A grade of “W” does not impact one’s GPA but could have Financial Aid implications. (Audit) Courses taken for no credit. Credit hours will not be averaged into the grade point average. A course that is being audited must be declared by the end of the registration period and may not be changed thereafter. The fees are the same as for regular college credit. No Grade Assigned. Used for administrative purposes when faculty fail to meet grade submission deadlines established by the college. Not to be assigned to an individual student who fails to complete the required course work before the scheduled course end date. Transfer coursework accepted for credit.

“I” Grade
The student's grade point average is obtained by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of semester hours for which the grades of A, B, C, D, F are assigned. Marks of W, I, and AU do not affect the grade point average but may affect financial aid . A final grade is the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s work and achievement throughout the course. Grades and marks are given at the discretion of the instructor. Factors upon which the final grade may be based are class participation, recitation, written and oral quizzes, reports, papers, final examination, and other class activities. At the beginning of each course, it is the responsibility of each instructor to notify students in writing the grading practices that will be used. Grade changes may occur if legitimate calculation errors are made. The Change of Grade Form must be completed and submitted to the Records Office for processing.

REVERSE TRANSFER POLICY
“ TA ”, “TB”, “TC” Grade “TS” Grade
Reverse transfer assists students who earned credits that applied towards an associate degree while enrolled at a community college but who did not complete sufficient credits to earn their associate degree. These students then pursued their education at a four-year institution. This agreement is designed to facilitate the transfer of credits earned by students at a four-year institution back to the community college to complete their associate degree. This policy also allows for transfer of credits between two- year colleges as well. Student consent for FERPA purposes will be obtained prior to any reverse transfer data exchange.
. Transfer coursework accepted for nontraditional credit such as, but not limited to, CLEP and AP scores.
Note: Withdrawal from a class or removal from the registration database can affect eligibility for federal financial aid. The grade of “I” may affect eligibility for federal financial aid. For more information, a student may contact the Office of Student Financial Services. S TANDARDS OF A CADEMIC P ROGRESS These standards of progress shall apply to all students unless otherwise noted. Exceptions : Programs within the institution which are subject to external licensure, certification, and/or accreditation, or which are fewer than four semesters in length may have higher standards of progress than the institutional standards of progress.
Students will be eligible for reverse transfer when they have met the following criteria:
a. Have earned at least 25% of the credit hours required for their degree from Lawson State Community College.
