Advisory Grades
After the third week of each semester, and again at the midpoint of the semester, an S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) grade is reported to each student officially enrolled in a course. This grade is advisory only, indicates the quality of the work up to that point of the semester, and is not a permanent part of the academic record.
Grades Earned by Retaking Courses
Students may repeat courses in which they earned grades of "D" or "F" to improve these grades. Students wanting to repeat a course in which a "C" or higher grade was earned must petition the Academic Dean of the department in which the course is offered for permission to register for the course.
The grade earned by retaking a course is the grade counted in the cumulative grade point average. The previous grade will continue to be recorded on the transcript, but the semester hour and quality points will not be used in computing the total semester hours or cumulative grade point average.
