All student records are open for inspection and review by the student unless he or she waives this right. The parent (s) of a dependent student, as defined in Title 26 U.S.C.S.S. 152 Internal Revenue Code, also has the right to inspect records that are maintained by the College on behalf of the student.
College level credit is awarded for students who provide official CLEP (College Level Examination Program) results to the Office of Records and Registration from the College Board. Scores of 50 or above on subject examinations are required for college credit. (No credit is given for the general examination.)
A grade of "CE" is not used in computing a student's grade point average. The instructor is responsible for keeping records of the examination and reporting the results, using the Credit by Examination form, to the Records and Registration Office by the third week of class.
If you have financial aid, less than 12 credit hours could cause your aid to be reduced. 9-11 credit hours is considered three-quarter time, 6-8 credit hours is considered half-time, and 5 or fewer credit hours is considered less than half time. If you have student loans and are enrolled as less than half-time, you will not be in a deferred status and will be in repayment.

A student may repeat a class to attempt to raise his/her grade point average. The original class must be taken at Gaston College and be repeated at Gaston College in order to honor the repeat policy. When a class is repeated, both classes will remain on the academic record, but only the highest grade is used in computing the grade point average. Students may repeat a class for credit no more than three times within a five-year period. Counting the first attempt and three repeated attempts allowed by policy, a student may take the same class a maximum of four times. A student may not re-enroll in a class in which credit by exam (CE) has been awarded. Please note the Course Repeat Policy may be different in health related programs. For those specific requirements, please refer to that health program handbook.
The Academic Forgiveness Policy allows Gaston College students who have experienced academic difficulty at Gaston College to have one opportunity to have grades below a “C” excluded from the cumulative grade point average (GPA). Academic difficulty is defined as less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average at Gaston College. This policy provides for raising the cumulative grade point average by excluding all grades of “D” or “F” earned prior to the date of eligibility for Academic Forgiveness. A student may be granted Academic Forgiveness only once. For a complete list of criteria, benefits and provisions of Academic Forgiveness visit the Office of Records and Registration. Completed forms should be returned to the Office of Records and Registration. Once this office receives the form, it is forwarded to the appropriate divisional dean for review.
WA Grade - A “WA” is assigned to a student who wishes to withdraw from a course or courses within the first eleven weeks of the semester and who has previously attended one or more class meetings. WA grades count toward hours attempted, but do not affect the student’s grade point average.
A student’s grade point average (GPA) is computed by adding the total quality points for each and dividing that number by the total credit hours for the semester. Quality points are calculated by multiplying the credit hours by the semester quality points.
An “IP” grade is not computed in the grade point average (GPA). Students receiving a grade of “IP” will not receive financial aid for the class on the second enrollment. Grades preceded by an “R” indicate the class has been repeated. Only the highest grade will be computed or applied toward a degree or diploma.
