Work in curriculum courses is evaluated according to the letter-grade system. Course grades are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades for courses at the 100 level and above will be averaged according to grade point equivalents to determine the student’s academic standing. Grades for courses below the 100 level will not be calculated in the determination of the student’s overall grade point average for student transcript purposes. When a course is repeated, the last grade recorded is the final grade for the course, and only the last hours attempted are counted in computing total credit hours and in determining the student’s grade point average.
