Student Evaluation. Students’ academic progress will be evaluated after each course grade has been awarded. In general and unless otherwise stated, the minimum grade to maintain satisfactory progress is 70% or C-.
A course may not be repeated more than once without approval of the designated academic official. Grades achieved in courses that are repeated due to course withdrawal (W, WP) or failure (F, WF) will replace previous withdrawal or failing grades. A student who is approved to repeat a course due to a failing grade (F, WF) must successfully pass the course by the third attempt. After three failed attempts the student will be academically dismissed (for appeal of academic dismissal, see
Appealing an Academic Dismissal).
