Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

22 Summary: 1. If you fail a level 4 or 5 class (D, F or NP grade), you will repeat the class in the next term of study. a. Upon completing the class a second time, you may replace the failing grade with the passing grade earned the second time. The failing grade will be removed from your PSU GPA but will remain on your transcript. b. You may have a lower GPA in the term that you failed the class. However, at the end of the following term, your GPA will increase when the failing grade is excluded and only the passing grade is included in the calculation. c. A Notice of Repeated Course Form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office in order for the failing grade to be excluded from the GPA calculation. The form may submitted at any time during your degree program. d. When repeating a course and replacing the grade, the course must be graded A-F both times. Courses taken P/NP cannot replace a failing grade. 2. There is a limit to the number of credits you may take P/NP. A student may take 45 credits of P/NP credits during their degree study. a. If you select P/NP for all level 4 and 5 classes, 32 of the 45 credits will be used for IELP classes. Only 13 credits will remain for the remainder of your degree study at PSU. b. It is more important to be able to use the P/NP option during degree study than during IELP study. Using a large number of P/NP credits for IELP classes will greatly limit the number available for use later at PSU. REPEAT POLICY Following is th e PSU Repeat Policy .
