College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Predoctoral Program 2024–2025 120 the discretion of the course director, and to test the student on the same topics as the missed exam. For clinical courses, makeup examinations will consist of an appropriate clinical test format selected by the course director and will be treated the same as any other examination in terms of grading. The date, time, and location of all makeup examinations will be determined by the course director. 6. Transcript Notations Designations that may appear on a student’s official transcript include the following: Numerical grade in the scale of 0–100 Letter Grades A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, F (refer to scale in prior section) C(E) F ailed course remediated successfully by reexamination (for courses graded on a alpha letter grade basis) RP Remediation Pass P Pass F Fail PH Pass with Honors PR Progress—In a continuum course NPR No Progress—In a continuum course I Incomplete W Withdrawal AU Audit Grades of F (failure) or I (incomplete) require special action, as noted previously in this student handbook. To graduate, students must complete and pass all courses. Failing grades will be included in calculating the GPA for that semester and the cumulative GPA. If a numerical graded or P/F course is failed and subsequently passed after remediation and reexamination, a grade of P (the highest possible course grade on reexamination) indicates that the course was passed after successful remediation. The reexamination grade of C will be used to calculate all subsequent GPAs. For courses in which students are graded on the alpha letter system, the highest grade upon successful remediation is a C(E). If a course is failed and the remediation is also failed, the highest failed course grade in any grading system will be recorded on the transcript. A student who fails a course and the course remediation may be provided the opportunity to repeat the course during the next academic year. If the student passes the repeated course, the grade earned in any grading system by the student in that course will be recorded on the transcript and used to calculate all subsequent GPAs. The original failing grade in the course will still be included on the transcript but will not be used in calculating the student’s GPA and class ranking. If a student repeats a year, the grades earned by the student during the repeated year will be used to calculate all subsequent GPAs. The original grades received by the student prior to the repeated year will still be included on the transcript but will not be used in calculating the student’s GPA and class ranking.
