Failure (F)

An “F” is a grade; it counts for the GPA. It alters the completion date of the program; it also increases the student’s financial burden. An “F” may not be erased, but the course can be repeated to improve the GPA. The latest grade for the course prevails. A student may continue to receive federal financial aid for any course failed as long as the student is otherwise eligible.

In the Associate of Science in Nursing Program and the Associate of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant, the lowest acceptable grade is an 80% (B). Anything below an 80% is considered failure.
