Repeating a course

You may repeat a College Credit Division course one time if you previously received a D or F. You will receive credit only for the latter enrollment. You may not repeat for credit any course for which you earned an A, B or C, unless the course description specifically says it may be repeated. Exceptions may be allowed for career programs where there is a considerable time lapse. Contact the dean of instruction for approval.

Note: If you are planning to transfer to another college, all grades earned might be included to compute your grade point average, even if a class was repeated.

Auditing a course

You may choose to audit a course if you prefer to explore a particular course or field of study in a non-graded situation. In this case, you participate in the course without the pressure of grades for exams and some other course requirements.

No credit is earned for audited courses nor does the course count toward your enrollment status.

Regular tuition and fees are charged.

Registrations for audited classes are accepted only during the "late registration" period.

Alternate credit

You have the choice of earning continuing education credit for some courses, an option similar to auditing a class. In this case, you do not have the pressure of earning a letter grade. Instead, you receive a "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" grade, which does not affect your GPA. You do not receive college credit for the course. Regular tuition and fees are charged. Courses with an alternate credit option are noted in the class schedule.

Pass/Fail grading

The pass/fail grading option is designed to allow you an alternative grading option.

A maximum of 10 semester hours, which apply to your curriculum, may be earned using the pass/fail grading option. Only select courses are designated pass/fail; consult the course descriptions. You must request the pass/fail option by completing a written request. Consult with the Office of Admissions and Registration for details.

You must perform at a level of C or better to receive a satisfactory grade. This grade is not included in your grade-point average but is included in the calculation of hours attempted.

If you perform below a C level, you will receive an F grade, representing no credit earned. This grade will be included in the grade point average and the calculation of hours attempted.
