Term Grades

Grades (final and mid-term) are available for student viewing and printing via WarriorWeb.  Mid-term grades are not official grades (as they are not posted to the transcript nor impact the GPA).

Final grades are required for all courses. 
Mid-term grades are required for full-term (16 week) academic courses numbered 1 - 199.

Grade Changes

Grade changes can be submitted by the instructor of the course(s) to the Office of the Registrar at any time.  Such changes must come in the form of an official Grade Change Form and be signed by both the instructor and the division chair. 

Once the new grade is changed by the Registrar's Office staff, the student can view his or her grade on WarriorWeb.  For additional information, see the Grade Appeal procedure outlined in the college catalog.

Incomplete Grades

An 'I' grade indicates that the coursework is satisfactory but has not been completed by the end of the term.  The grade and completion date are given at the discretion of the instructor (with the completion date no longer than one semester).  All 'I' grades automatically become 'F's if the completion date is not met - unless otherwise noted by the instructor.

Withdrawal Grades

A grade of 'W' is given when a student withdraws from a class after the 10th day of the term.  The grade is recorded on the official transcript but, because it has no grade points, the 'W' notation does not negatively impact the GPA.

Repeated Classes

Students may repeat courses in which they were previously enrolled. However, credit is usually allowed only once, and the grade point average will reflect the most recent repeated grade. While the original course and grade remain on the permanent transcript, they are not used to calculate the cumulative grade point average.
