student must appeal for an RD grade before the end of the semester. Such a grade incurred in one semester must be made up by the end of the first nine (9) weeks of the next semester or the grade will automatically become an F. An F can be made up only by repetition of the course . A student may only be allowed a combination of two F' s and/ or two C' s; a third C and/or F brings automatic elimination from the program. No grade other than an RD may be altered once it has been reported to the Registrar unless an error was made in grading or recording. These changes can only be made upon written approval of the instructor, the Registrar, and the Com mittee on Admissions and Academic Qualifications.
