| F/C- and Lower Grade Policy |
| The following is the current
college policy regarding the retaking of courses for which a student
has already received a grade of C- or below. |
| 1. |
The following is the current college policy regarding
the retaking of courses for which a student has already received a
grade of C- or below. |
| 2. |
When an undergraduate student receives an earned academic
grade of "F" or an administrative failing grade the student
subsequently retakes the course and receives a higher grade, the initial
grade of "F" will no longer be computed into the grade-point
average. The "F" grade, however, will remain on the transcript. |
| |
For example:
If a student receives a D- in a course and retakes the course and receives a
D+, the D+ will replace the D- in the student’s GPA. However, the D- will
remain on the student’s transcript. (If the grade for the retaken course
is the same or lower than the previous grade, then the credits will not count
toward the student’s degree but will count in the GPA).While BMCC and
other colleges have initiated a variety of changes to CUNY’s original
policy, the number of "retaken" credits that can be deleted from
the grade-point average shall be limited to 16 for the duration of the student’s
undergraduate enrollment in any institution in the City University of New York.
This policy is applicable to grades earned after September 1, 1984. |
| Students should remember that repeating a course may
limit their ability to meet the satisfactory academic performance requirements
for receipt of Federal financial aid. Also, repeating courses for which
students have already received an acceptable passing grade may not
be included as part of student’s minimum full-time or part-time
course load for Federal and State financial aid purposes. |
