Grading System
Repeat Grades:
If you take a course to improve a grade, the higher grade will be used in your academic average. The lower grade will remain on your transcript. Repeated courses must be taken at GCU, unless special permission is given by the department chairperson.
Incomplete Grades:
Incomplete grades not completed within six weeks after the end of a main semester will revert to an F. No special notation is recorded on the transcript.
Skills Development Courses:
Credits are not applicable towards the degree requirements.
