Upon fulfilling the 1 1/2 credit requirement, students are encouraged to enroll in additional courses of their choice.
GPA Inclusion/Exclusion
Students can choose to have their grade included or excluded in their "GPA". All students grades are included in the GPA by default. If a student wishes have their grade excluded from the GPA, a "GPA Exclusion" form must be filed in the Guidance Office prior to 4:00pm on Friday of the second week of the term. Students who opt for "GPA Exclusion" will receive a "Pass/Fail" grade. Passing grades are equivalent to letter grades of "A, B or C", a letter grade of "D" is considered a failure. "Pass/Fail" grades do not influence the overall grade point average.
