When will I receive my grades?
Grades
for credit courses are mailed to students within three weeks following the full
semester end date. Information
regarding grades cannot be given out over the phone.
Grades will not be mailed for students with financial holds on their
accounts.
Grade Point Average
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by multiplying the grade point
value (0.00 to 4.00) for each letter grade by the number of credits earned in
the course, totaling the grade points, and dividing the sum by the total number
of credits attempted for the semester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) is determined by summing the grade points for all semesters and dividing
by the total number of credit houses attempted in all semesters (total grade
points divided by total credit hours = CGPA).
Note: Pass\No Pass courses and credits granted through examinations, work
experiences, or transfer credits will not be considered when computing grade
point averages.
Only York County Community College credit courses are used to determine grade
point averages.
Repeating a Courses
Students may repeat a course to attempt to improve their grade point average.
The grade received for the repeated course will replace the earlier grade in
calculating the GPA. The initial grade remains on the transcript with a
notation. Students forfeit any credit they may have received in the
previous class; that is, they will receive credit for the class only once.
Students must pay all associated tuition and fees to repeat a course.
Students cannot receive veteran's benefits for retaking a passed course.
Course Audit
An audited course is one in which a student is enrolled, has paid all tuition
and fees, but may not be obligated to prepare assignments or take examinations.
Faculty are not obligated to grade work presented by students who are auditing.
Audited courses yield no academic credit. A student enrolled in a course
for credit may switch to "audit" status at any time before the end of
the withdrawal period. Audited courses do not meet prerequisite
requirements. Courses taken by Audit are noted on the transcript with a
grade of AU and are not calculated in the GPA. Not all courses are
appropriate or available for audit.
President's List
At the end of each semester, the Registrar prepares for the President a list
of those full-time students who have earned a grade point average of 4.0.
The President notifies those students who qualify and the college announces the
list.
Dean's List
At the end of each semester, the Registrar prepares, for the purpose of
recognizing academic excellence, a list of those full-time students who have
earned grade point averages of 3.5-3.99, with no course grade below a C (2.0).
The Vice President/Academic Dean notifies those students who qualify and the
college announces the list.
Academic Probation
Academic Probation is a means of alerting students who are in academic
jeopardy that they must show academic improvement in order to remain
matriculated in their current program of study. Students will be sent
notification of probationary status. Students on academic probation for
two (2) consecutive semesters may be dismissed. Probationary status is
removed once students earn grades of good standing. Students are placed on
academic probation if their cumulative grade point average falls into one of the
following ranges:
Cumulative grade point averages of:
- No probationary status assigned for 1 - 11 credit hours;
- GPA of 1.51 to 1.74 for 12 to 23 attempted credit hours;
- GPA of 1.75 to 1.90 for 24 to 35 attempted credit hours;
- GPA of 1.91 to 1.99 for 36 or more attempted credit hours.
Academic Dismissal
Matriculated students will be dismissed for failure to earn the minimum
acceptable cumulative grade point average, as follows:
Cumulative point average of:
- 1.50 or less for 12 to 23 attempted credit hours,
- 1.74 or less for 24 to 35 attempted credit hours,
- 1.90 or less for 36 to 47 attempted credit hours,
- 1.99 or less for 48 attempted credit hours to end of program.
