Student Handbook

Readmitted Student For the student who is separated from the College because of academic problems, or voluntarily leaves and then is readmitted, the following will apply: 1. The student’s transcript will contain their complete academic record at the College. A notation will appear indicating the date and the reason for separation e.g., leave of absence, withdrawal, dismissal, etc., as well as the notation and date of readmission. 2. Grades for all years attended, including unsuccessful quarters or year(s) will remain on the transcript. All grades, except for the initial grade in repeated courses, will be utilized in calculating the cumulative GPA. 3. If a student is readmitted, the Committee on Admissions or the Committee on Course & Standing may recommend the conditions under which the student is readmitted, e.g., all courses repeated, exemptions granted for course(s) previously passed, etc. Students Repeating a Year of Study For the student that is required to repeat a full year(s) of study, the following will apply: 1. A notation will be made on the transcript indicating the year(s) being repeated. 2. All courses that are being repeated will be indicated with a “Y” after the grade received. 3. Grades for all years attended will remain on the transcript. All grades, with the exception of the initial grade in repeated courses, will be utilized in calculating the cumulative GPA. Disciplinary Action Students are subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal from the College, for actions deemed inappropriate according to the Student Conduct Code distributed to all students in the Student Handbook.

Class Ranking The college computes and maintains records of students' class rank.

Class rank, to be a valid barometer of a student's performance, must be computed properly. Therefore, the following guidelines are used by the Registrar:

1. Computation of the GPA shall be rounded to no more than two decimal places (hundredths) for the purpose of determining class rank. 2. Students having the same GPA shall be reported as having identical class ranks representative of their grouped data.
