The add/drop period for the FlexStart terms in the fall and spring, and the summer sessions is the first three instructional days of the term. Students may add or drop courses without academic penalty. Courses dropped during the add/drop period will not appear on transcripts.

How do I calculate my GPA?
Grade point averages are calculated by multiplying the number equivalent of the letter grade by the number of credit hours for the course (the grade points) and then dividing by the total number of credit hours. The semester grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned during a given semester by the sum of the credit hours for all coursed in which the student received letter grades of A, B, C, D or F during the same semester. A GPA calculator is available online.

What makes a Honors Graduate?
Prospective graduates with a program GPA of 3.5 or more at the end of the term prior to graduation will be considered honor graduates.
How do I make the Dean's List?
To qualify for the dean’s list, students must have declared a major, be enrolled in at least 12 semester program credit hours during the fall or spring term and nine program credit hours during the summer term (excluding audited courses), and have earned a grade point average of 3.50 with no course grade lower than “C.” A grade of “I” or “WF” automatically excludes students from the dean’s list. All credit hours attempted during the semester (term) will be factored into the GPA calculations.
How do I Audit a class?
Auditing a course allows a student to attend a course without receiving credit. Students may not change status (credit to audit or audit to credit) after the add/drop period. Students who previously audited a course must register for and pass the course in order to receive credit for the course. Students may not receive credit by examination for previously audited courses. Students auditing a course pay the same fees as a student taking the same course for credit. Courses that include clinical rotations, practicums, etc., in the Health and Human Services Division cannot be audited.
