Executive Order 1037 Withdrawal & Repetition of Courses No penalty or restriction through the fifth day of instruction. ti After the fifth day of instruction, a grade of W will be issued. Ws will not affect GPA. No more than 28 units of W allowed. Applies to CPP units only, excludes CEU Cannot repeat if you have a C or better. Except for repeatable courses
Executive Order 1037 Withdrawal al & Repetition of Courses Courses can be repeated 2 times ONLY Repetition i of courses limited i to 42 units, of which a maximum of 16 units can be for grade forgiveness and 26 for grade averaging, i.e. affect the GPA. Ws are aeincluded cudedin the e42 units tsbut do not affect the GPA.
Withdrawal & Repetition of Courses May repeat a course if earned a grade of C or lower. LIMITED TO 42 QUARTER UNITS Maximum 16 units of grade forgiveness Grade forgiveness is NOTautomatic ti Must file a Repeated Course Notification Form Reserve for core and/or UD courses, if not at risk PETN/EXCL posted alongside the replaced grades (remedial courses show EXCL)
Drop after 3 rd Week Permissible only for serious and compelling reasons be sure to use new form Written verification and/or support documents are required Approved by: Instructor, Dept Chair and Dean Usually involves total withdrawal during the last 10 days of instruction When dropping, must confirm it. After dropped, d be sure to double check the records. May request that these not count toward 28 units
