* May be modified by the Promotions Committee for reasons of additional consideration.
** Letters of academic warning will indicate that if another failure occurs the student will be placed on academic probation.
Failures in elective courses carry the same weighting as failures in core curriculum courses. Withdrawal/Failing (W/F) may be considered as a course failure by the Promotions Committee.
One "failure-equivalent": failing a single-quarter course with the grade assigned at the end of the quarter
Two "failure-equivalents": failing a two-quarter course with a single grade assigned at the end of the course
Three "failure-equivalents": failing a three-quarter course with a single grade assigned at the end of the course
