21.  What is clemency and how can I apply for it?

Academic clemency/forgiveness is a provision designed to help students who, because of personal crisis, immaturity, or other exceptional circumstances, have not demonstrated their true abilities in performing college work. Academic clemency allows the calculation of grade point average and credits hours to be based upon work completed after a prolonged separation from college. 

 

22.  What is the difference between a “W” and an “AW”? Will it hurt my status?

A grade of “W” is given when a student initiates a drop from a course after the official reporting day of each term. A grade of an “AW” signifies an Administrative Withdraw initiated by the instructor or college personnel. Neither grade counts as part of your GPA but may count toward future Financial Aid awards.  

 

23.  How can I figure my GPA? 

GPA is calculated by dividing the number of hours earned (the divisor) into the quality points. Quality points are assigned in the following manner:

 

Grades earned A = 4 quality points  B = 3 quality points C = 2 quality points D = 1 quality point F = 0 quality point	Quality points are then multiplied by the number of credit hours the course is worth.   (Example: If you made an A in a 3 credit hour course, your quality points for that course would be 12, if you made a B it would equal 9, and a C would equal 6, etc.)
If you have earned 12 hours and have 36 quality points, your GPA would be 3.00. *Remedial courses do not count in overall GPA, but they do count in the term GPA.

 

24.  Do I need to apply for graduation? If so how do I apply?

Yes! For currently enrolled students, graduation applications are due the Wednesday following the end of pre-registration one semester before graduation. If you plan to graduate in spring or summer, your graduation application is due to the Registrar’s Office in Mid-November.  If you plan to graduate in fall, your application is due following pre-registration in April.

 

To apply simply complete an Application for Graduation form found under Graduation Information on the Registrar's Portal page.  Meet with your advisor and have them forward a complete signed copy of your Plan of Study or Degree Audit to the Registrar's Office by the graduation deadline.  

 

 

25.  How can I find out who my advisor is?

New students are assigned an advisor before orientation at the beginning of each term.   Your advisor is listed on your Campus Connect. 

 

26.  How can I change my name, mailing address, phone number or make corrections to may SSN?

(1.)  Stop by the Registrar’s office and complete a Student Identification Correction Form.

(2.)  Address changes can be submitted to the Registrar’s office by mail or fax, or updated by you through Campus Connect Portal tab under the demographics information section.

(3.)  SSN corrections must be accompanied by a photo ID and Social Security Card.
