The course may be retaken one time and the student must achieve a grade of B or higher.

At the time that a B- or below is received, a student is not in good academic standing until the student remediates by retaking the course and achieving a grade of B (83.0%) or higher.</li>

The weighted average of all tests, and examinations will be calculated first without rounding. This portion of the grade is to be based on work completed by the individual student. If the average of the test and exam grades is less than 83.0%, that will be the course grade.</li>
