GRADING SYSTEM revised Fall 2007
GRADE INFORMATION
DEAN’S LIST
Each semester, a Dean’s List is issued and published listing all fulltime
students who have earned a 3.5 average or higher semester GPA.
ADDITIONAL GRADING INFORMATION
• Final grades are recorded on the student’s permanent record at the
close of each semester. As grades are processed, students can view
them on My GCC.
• The highest grade for any repeated course will be used for the
calculation of the student’s GPA.
• Audited and pass/fail courses do not count in the calculation of the
student’s GPA.
• The GPA of transfer credits does not count in the calculation of the
student’s GPA.
• The GPA of college credits earned by a student in high school count in
the calculation of the student’s GCC GPA.

INCOMPLETE GRADES
It is expected that students will fulfill course requirements to warrant a
grade for each course at the end of the semester. Should a student
receive an incomplete due to extenuating circumstances, the course is to
be completed within 30 days unless extended in writing by the instructor
and the Vice President of Student Services. An incomplete will revert to a
grade specified by the instructor if not made up within the time allotted.
REPETITION OF COURSES
When a student repeats a course, the record made in repetition will be
compared to the first record, and the higher grade will count, thereby
making it possible to improve the cumulative grade point average. The
lower grade will continue to be displayed on the transcript, although it has
been superseded by the higher grade in the cumulative grade point
calculation. Each grade attempt will continue to be counted in the
individual semester grade point calculation.

GRADE RE-EVALUATION POLICY
This policy assists the student whose grade point average from some prior period is significantly lower than
the work the student has completed in current semesters, and because of this, the cumulative grade point
average is not representative of the student’s capabilities.
A student may complete a petition in the Vice President of Student Services office and must meet a series of
conditions. Upon approval of the student’s petition for grade point reevaluation, all course grades prior to reenrollment will be removed from the calculation of grade point average (GPA). Passing credits may be carried
forward to meet graduation requirements if current course content has remained substantially the same as
