Withdrawals, Failures, Repeats, Incompletes, Pass/Fail, Missing Grades, Audited and Non-Credit Courses

  • A student who withdraws from a course or receives a failing grade will not receive credit for that course in establishing standards of progress. This may have a serious adverse effect on a student’s ability to meet the SAP standards.
  • Any course that is listed on a transcript or grade report as a Withdrawal (WD) will be counted in the SAP formula as credits attempted.
  • Course failures will be counted in the SAP formula as credits attempted. All failing grades will be factored into the CGPA calculation per institutional policy.
  • Repeated courses are included in credits attempted for each occurrence. The impact on CGPA will reflect institutional policy.
  • All occurrences of previously failed repeat courses will be counted in the SAP calculation. Only one occurrence of a previously passed course will be counted.
  • An Incomplete grade will not be counted towards the number of courses completed until the student has successfully met the requirements of the course and received a final grade.
  • Courses graded on a pass/fail basis will be counted in credits attempted but will not count in the CGPA calculation.
  • Courses with a missing grade will be counted in credits attempted with no credits earned. When the student informs the Financial Aid Office that a grade has been submitted, the student’s academic performance will be reviewed.
  • Courses taken as an Audit do not count toward graduation requirements and will not be included in the calculation of a student’s SAP.
  • Remedial courses will be counted in credits attempted.
