GgRrAaDdEe FfOoRrGgIi覺VvEeNnEeSsSs SsTtUuDdEeNnTt PpRrOoGgRrEeSsSsIi覺OoNn PpLlAaNn Page H/64 in Student Progression Plan Students may repeat a course taken in grades 9-12 for forgiveness if a grade of F or D is earned in a course. High school courses taken in middle school may be forgiven if a grade of C, D or F is earned subsequently.

A course is forgiven only if a student receives a grade of C or higher on a subsequent attempt.


GgRrAaDdEe FfOoRrGgIi覺VvEeNnEeSsSs SsTtUuDdEeNnTt PpRrOoGgRrEeSsSsIi覺OoNn PpLlAaNn A required course may be forgiven by the same or a comparable course taken subsequently. A lower level of the same course is considered comparable because the benchmarks and/or course objectives are similar. A non-specific course requirement may be forgiven by another course within the same subject area. For example, physics may be forgiven by ecology.


GgRrAaDdEe FfOoRrGgIi覺VvEeNnEeSsSs SsTtUuDdEeNnTt PpRrOoGgRrEeSsSsIi覺OoNn PpLlAaNn Students earning a grade of D on the repeat effort earn credit for that course; however, the initial failing grade is not forgiven. Students may again choose to repeat the same course, and upon earning a grade of C or higher, all earlier grades will be forgiven. In all cases where courses are forgiven under the provisions above, the initial F or D grade(s) will remain as part of the academic history. Students should be advised that many universities calculate GPAs based on all courses attempted.
