Term and Grade Forgiveness
成人AV视频 Student Government wants to increase awareness of Term and Grade forgiveness. It is important to understand the benefits and drawbacks of this tool. Over a thousand (1000) Students utilized term and grade forgiveness between January and August of 2012. You can find the most important fact about this topic please click here. For additional information, please visit website.
Grade Forgiveness
- Only students seeking a first bachelor's degree may apply for grade forgiveness.
- Grade forgiveness may only be used for two courses as an undergraduate student.
- Only the first recorded grade for a course will be forgiven. The most recent grade will be calculated in the GPA.
- The deadline for requests is no later than the deadline for submission of grades for a student's last term at 成人AV视频 before graduating.
Important Note: Although none of the courses will count toward graduation or in the cumulative and term GPA calculation, the originally recorded grades will be used in calculating any "honors" for graduation.
Term Forgiveness
- Undergraduate, degree-seeking students attempting their first baccalaureate degree may request Term Forgiveness for exactly one term at 成人AV视频.
- A student granted Term Forgiveness may not exercise Grade Forgiveness. Term Forgiveness may not be used if Grade Forgiveness has been implemented.
- This policy does not alter the permanent academic record; all courses attempted for the forgiven semester and related grades will remain on the student's record.
- Although courses and grades in the forgiven term appear on the student's permanent academic record, the grade for the courses in the forgiven term will not be calculated in any of the student's Grade Point Averages (See the Academic Average {Grade Point Average} policy.) The original grades will be calculated for the honors GPA.
- This policy reflects 成人AV视频 grade point calculations only and does not affect the grade point calculation of outside agencies or other institutions that may use all grades, including repeated and forgiven grades, in their calculations of grade point averages.
Excess Hours
Excess Hours is a relatively new policy in the state of Florida. This policy can affect students in many different ways. It could increase the amount of money paid per credit hour and it could potentially extend your graduation date. In order to access more information about this topic please click here.
