Delete paragraph headed "Replacement of F Grade" p. 42 and replace with the following: Replacement of Grade If a student repeats a course for which he or she has earned a grade of C or better, the new hours and quality points will not be used in the calculation of the grade point average nor will the new hours count toward graduation requirements. If a student repeats either a failed course or a course in which he or she has received a D grade, only the new quality points and semester hours of credit will be used in the calculation of the grade point average. A student may take advantage of this forgiveness clause up to a maximum of 15 semester hours of credit. However, the student's permanent record will be a complete record of all courses attempted and the evaluations received for these attempts. This policy will apply to course credits earned at UNCA and will take effect with courses taken from the 1982-83 fall semester on. When taking a course to replace a grade, students must comply with procedures established by the registrar's office. 2. Rationale: D and F are both substandard grades. This proposed change would apply to all substandard grades. 3. Effective Spring Semester 1991.
