SCIT Catalog <br />student was not in attendance at the conclusion of the course as <br />opposed to an F grade which indicates that the student was in <br />attendance but failed to complete the course objectives. Students <br />who receive an I grade are subject to the Course Withdraw and <br />Incomplete Charge policy stated In this catalog. A grade <br />designation of I: <br />• Contributes to a student's grade point average; <br />• Does not count as quarter credits units toward a students' <br />degree or diploma completion requirement; <br />• Counts toward the total number of credits attempted when <br />determining full or part-time status; and <br />Counts toward total number of credits attempted for <br />determining the students Satisfactory Academic Progress. <br />Students who receive an Incomplete Grade (I) in all their enrolled <br />courses during a term must notify the school that they intend to <br />continue their studies and appeal to remain enrolled at the school <br />within the deadline of (1) thirty days after the end date of the <br />respective courses if the student is a Non -Attendance Required <br />Student, or (2) fourteen days after the end date of the respective <br />courses if the student is an Attendance Required Student. The <br />school reserves the right to extend the aforementioned deadlines <br />in its sole and absolute discretion. Students who notify the school <br />that they intend to continue and appeal to remain enrolled at the <br />school must indicate so In writing by completing the applicable <br />forms provided by the school within the aforementioned <br />deadlines. The school, in its sole and absolute discretion, will <br />either grant or deny the students appeal to remain enrolled at the <br />school based on the reascn(s) the student provides for his or her <br />lack of attendance, the students past attendance patterns and the <br />students past academic history at the school. If the appeal Is <br />granted, the student must attend within the Attendance Census <br />Period of their next scheduled course and may not drop during <br />the Add/Drop Period of his/her next scheduled course unless <br />approved or they may he withdrawn from the school, If the <br />student does not appeal to remain enrolled at the school within <br />the applicable deadlines and/or Is denied his or her appeal to <br />continue, the student will be withdrawn from the school. <br />COURSE COMPLETION <br />A course is considered complete If the student (1) receives an A-D <br />grade in the course, or (2) receives transfer credit for the course, <br />or (3) receives experiential learning credit for the course, or (4) <br />receives an A-D grade In a course designated as an elective or <br />Independent Study of the respective course by the SLIT Education <br />Department, or (5) tests out of the course. <br />GRADE POINT AVERAGE <br />The grade point average Is determined by dividing the number of <br />grade points earned by the number of units attempted. The total <br />grade points earned for a course equals the number of grade <br />points assigned times the number of course units. Grade point <br />average (GPA) calculations will be based on the following: <br />STUDENT PROGRESS & EVALUATION <br />Student's progress is generally evaluated at 40%, 90% and 100% <br />completion of each quarter 10 weeks ors -week module through <br />daily assignments, assessments of hands-on work, quizzes and <br />examinations. Progress is measured by the use of the grade point <br />system. <br />REPETITION OF COURSES <br />Students may repeat a failed course as many times satisfying that <br />they meet the schools satisfactory academic progress <br />requirements, however, students may repeat a completed <br />(passed) course only once. If a student repeats a course, the <br />higher of the grades achieved in the repeated course is calculated <br />into the students' grade point average. However, the students' <br />academic record will show both the original and repeated course <br />grades. The academic transcript will indicate the repeated course <br />as credits attempted but only the course with the highest grade <br />earned will be calculated Into the credits completed and the GPA. <br />Repeated courses are calculated as attempted units when <br />calculating quantitative standards for Satisfactory Academic <br />Progress. However, only the highest grade is used when <br />calculating qualitative standards for satisfactory academic <br />progress. Students should be aware that repeating a course may <br />result In additional charges, may affect the students projected <br />graduation date, and/or may affect the students' future course <br />schedule. <br />CORRECTION OF GRADES <br />All grades are considered final when recorded Into the students' <br />transcript. All requests for a grade change must be submitted In <br />writing to the Dean of Education. <br />TEST OUT <br />The SCIT Education Department may designate certain courses for <br />which a student may petition to test out from and, thereby, no <br />longer be required to enroll In the course. A petition to test out <br />from a course must include the reason as to why the student <br />Page 20 of 69 <br />
