Student teaching, practica, and special courses are graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory “S/U” basis. Other courses may be taken by undergraduates under a pass/fail “P/F” option.
In computation of the required grade point average (GPA) for retention and conferral of a degree, the total number of quality points (grade points times course semester hours) is divided by the total number of semester hours for which letter grades are received (see the Grading System for grade points). All regulations tied to a specific grade average should be interpreted to mean the numerical average associated with that specific grade. Hence, the required “C average or better” is interpreted as “2.0 average or better.”
Course work completed in any student classification (including
non-degree) will be included in the undergraduate GPA, determined by the level
of the course.
