Beginning Fall 1997, a student may have only three attempts per course including the original grade, repeat grades, and all withdrawals. A fourth attempt may be allowed only through an academic appeals process based on documented major extenuating circumstances and approved by the Campus Dean of Student Development. All grades from the third and subsequent attempts will be calculated in the grade point average. Courses taken at institutions other than BCC will not be counted in determining repeat charges. Students who want to pursue an appeal should consult their advisor.
Some senior institutions count all hours attempted and all quality points earned.
A course may be counted only once toward meeting graduation requirements except where permitted by a course description. Under federal regulations, VA educational benefits will be discontinued for those veteran benefit students whose GPA falls below 2.0 in two consecutive terms. Students in this situation should contact the campus VA Office immediately for assistance in applying for reinstatement of benefits.
