The highest grade earned in any repeated course will be the grade used for determining credit and the GPA applicable to graduation. The previous East Central course grade on the student’s transcript will remain on the transcript but will not count for or against the student in ascertaining graduation requirements or GPA. Students repeating transfer courses recorded on the ECCC transcript will be awarded credit for the highest grade, ECCC course or transfer course. Courses within specialized programs may adhere to a different grading system. INCOMPLETE GRADES A grade of “I” (incomplete) may be submitted in lieu of a final grade when the student, because of illness, death in the student’s immediate family, or similar circumstances beyond the student’s control, is unable to complete the course work or to take final examinations. An “incomplete” on final semester grades must be removed by completing the required work by the end of the first six weeks of the next semester or a grade of “F” will be recorded by the Director of Admissions and Records. The individual student has the responsibility of making the necessary arrangements with the instructor concerned.
