Grading System Point Average (GPA) – GPA is determined by adding all grade points and dividing by the sum of all GPA Credits. Grades of A, B, C, D, or F are calculated in grade point average; grades of AU, FN, I, NC, P, and W are not calculated in grade point average. Grades and Grade Points
- A = 4 grade points
- B = 3 grade points
- C = 2 grade points
- D = 1 grade points
- F = 0 grade points
- AU - Audit – An audit must be declared in person at the Registration Office prior to the start of the term or the course. Regular tuition rates apply for audited courses. Audited courses are not eligible for financial aid and may not be applied toward a degree.
- FN - Failure for Non-attendance – An FN may be assigned for non-attendance or non-participation.
- I - Incomplete – An incomplete or I is assigned at the discretion of the instructor and only in exceptional circumstances. An I is a temporary grade and automatically becomes an F grade (or NC in the case of courses numbered below 1000) at the end of the next semester (not including summer session) if requirements have not been satisfactorily met. Instructors have the option of setting an alternate completion date for the student. Students need to request an incomplete from the instructor. Incompletes are considered only for students who have completed most of the work in the course at a passing level and who cannot complete the work of a course on schedule because of illness or other circumstances beyond their control.
- NC - No Credit – An NC is assigned for no achievement and reserved for developmental coursework numbered below 1000.
- P - Pass – Individual students do not have the option of requesting the P/NC grading method; only courses selected by NHCC are graded using P/NC or P/F.
- W - Withdraw – A "W" is assigned when a student swithdraws from a class after the drop period for the semester has ended. Credits for which a "W" is received are considered attempted credits but not successfully completed credits. Thus, a "W" does not impact GPA but does negatively impact the completion rate.
Repeated credits: Repeats may be allowed in order to improve a grade. All grades appear on the transcript, but the highest grade is used in calculating GPA. Academic amnesty Printable Form(PDF) To be considered for academic amnesty, a student must:- Have been absent from credit-based enrollment at NHCC for a period of at least a five years.
- Upon returning to NHCC, complete at least 12 credits with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.
- Work with counselor or advisor to determine whether or not academic amnesty is an appropriate choice.
When these conditions have been satisfied, the student may submit a written request to the Registrar. The student’s transcript will be updated to reflect academic amnesty. Although all courses and grades remain on the transcript, previous courses with grades of either D or F will no longer be calculated in the student's GPA. Exceptions to academic amnesty:- Federal financial aid regulations do not recognize academic amnesty. All grades continue to be calculated in the student's GPA for purposes of Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress.
- Transfer institutions may or may not honor the academic amnesty practice of North Hennepin Community College.
