Letter grades will be assigned for all courses for which students have registered as follows:
- A — Excellent
- B — Good
- C — Average
- D — Poor
- F — Failure
- W — Withdrawal
- I — Incomplete
- AU — Audit
Satisfactory grades are A, B, and C. Although D is a pass, it is not considered as satisfactory work. Students must hold a C average to graduate. The Associate Degree Nursing, Practical Nursing, and Emergency Medical Services Programs are governed by separate grading policies.
A grade of W is assigned to all students who officially withdraw. A grade of W will not be used in computing the student’s semester grade point average.
A grade of F will be assigned to a student who fails to meet the requirements of a course.
If a grade of I (Incomplete) is granted by an instructor, the student must complete the course in the following semester. If the student fails to complete the course during the following semester, the Incomplete automatically becomes an F.
Students enrolling as auditors follow the regular admissions procedures and are governed by the regulations applied to regular students. An auditor pays the regular course fees, but is not required to participate in class discussions, take tests, make reports, and take the final examination and does not receive credit. Online courses may require the completion of coursework to progress in the course credit. The auditor is listed on the class roll and receives Audit on the final grade report. Students may change from Credit to Audit or from Audit to Credit only during the registration period but may not change thereafter. Information about auditing a course should be directed to the Admissions Office.
