Treatment of W, INC, AU, F, S and U Grades and Repeated Coursework

  • Course withdrawals (W) after the drop/add period are not included in the GPA calculation, but are considered a noncompletion of attempted coursework.
  • Incomplete (INC) grades are not included in the GPA calculation but are considered a noncompletion of attempted coursework until the incomplete grade is replaced with a permanent grade and academic progress can be reevaluated.
  • An audit (AU) grade is not considered attempted coursework. It is not included in the GPA calculation or completion rate determination.
  • A satisfactory (S) grade is treated as attempted credits earned, but it is not included in the GPA calculation.
  • An unsatisfactory (U) grade is treated as attempted credits that are not earned, but it is not included in the GPA calculation.
  • A failing grade (F) is treated as attempted credits not earned; it will be included in the calculation of the GPA and the minimum completion rate.
  • All grades earned for a repeated course will be recorded on the transcript and the highest grade received will be included in the GPA calculation; however, every repeated attempt will be included in the completion rate determination.
