Credit is defined and awarded consonant with the Glossary definition. Evaluation of student learning or achievement, and the award of credit, are based upon clearly stated and distinguishable criteria, which are published in the catalog.
Academic records are comprehensive, accurate, and secure.
All classes taken for credit at the University are recorded on a student's transcript, including classes that are withdrawn from, dropped after the fifteenth day of class, granted credit by examination, granted transfer credit, or given credit through the College of Technology's Tech Prep program. In the case of repeated courses, the earlier grade that is earned in the repeated course remains a part of the student's permanent academic record, even if the earlier grade is exempted from cumulative grade average in accordance with the published policy on repeat of courses. Similarly, in the case of an incomplete, the incomplete remains on the student's transcript, along with the final grade which is assigned once the makeup work has been completed. To prevent the occurrence of recording errors, grade entry at the end of each semester is done twice for each course by separate Registrar's office personnel. Following completion of the duplicate grade entry, computer programs are run on all the grades entered to detect discrepancies between the duplicate entries.
