They work indoors and outdoors, in nearly every type of facility. Almost all electricians work full time, which may include evenings and weekends. Although the work is not as dangerous as other construction occupations, potential injuries include electrical shocks and burns, cuts, and falls. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, most electricians learn through an apprenticeship, and many start out by attending a technical school. Most states require electricians to be licensed. The median annual wage for electricians was $51,880 in May 2015. Employment of electricians is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. As homes and businesses require more wiring, electricians will be needed to install the necessary components. Electricians with the widest variety of skills should have the best job opportunities.

In recent years, applications of mathematics have expanded far beyond the traditional boundaries of physics, chemistry, and engineering. Biologists, sociologists, economists, psychologists, and even historians and lawyers have reached out to mathematicians in their quest for indisputable conclusions and novel methods of investigation. Thus, pure and applied mathematicians are and always will be in demand. Grayson College offers an Associate of Science Degree in Mathematics at Grayson College as part of the Science and Technology Career Pathway. This program opens the door to an attractive future for students who want to prepare for careers in fields requiring a solid background in quantitative analysis, transfer to university, or to teach mathematics at various levels. The Associate of Science Degree requires that TSI requirements are met. Program Mission Statement The Department of Mathematics seeks to ensure that all students are given a basic understanding of mathematical reasoning and some experience of its application. More advanced techniques and interpretative skills are taught to those whose chosen disciplines require them. The Mathematics Department offers courses of study that initiate students into the active practice and use of mathematics. Mathematics majors are provided with the background necessary to pursue careers in industry, to teach in the secondary schools, or to succeed in further study. Program Philosophy It is the belief of the Mathematics staff of Grayson College that mathematics is one of the fundamental skills of learning. The basics of mathematics, along with other essential communication skills, are ingredients that cannot be excluded from any student's formal training. We recognize qualitative literacy as being necessary for survival in a rapidly changing technological society. It is therefore agreed that despite the differences that exist in learning potential or individual student's achievement, there are certain common goals for all students in mathematics: the development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills; the facility to analyze data, make quantitative and qualitative comparisons, identify trends, and make valid conclusions and predictions; the capacity to make estimates and recognize reasonable results. We regard the skills of mathematics as part of being an educated person and critical to academic training and employment. Furthermore, we consider cooperation with the community, industry, and those in higher education essential in the development and delivery of a mathematics program which effectively educates our citizens and communicates the need for this education to all.

Overview - LVN to AAS in Nursing (TE Option) The Nursing program facilitates upward educational mobility for the licensed vocational/practical nurse by offering advanced placement into the nursing program through two transitional entry courses (RNSG 1413 and RNSG 1227).  These courses are offered as hybrid courses, combining online and classroom learning and must be taken and passed concurrently to progress to the Nursing 3 semester.  Students may only take the TE courses one time. If unsuccessful in one or both of the TE courses, eligible students may apply for admission to Nursing 1 or 2 in the traditional ADN program. Acceptance into the program is required to take the RNSG courses. Upon successful completion of the two TE courses, students receive 11-semester credits for prior vocational nursing courses.  TE students then continue in the nursing program following the traditional ADN course schedule for the third and fourth semesters.  Grading and progression policies are the same for all students in the nursing program regardless of entry as a traditional or TE student. Detailed information about the program is provided in a TE information packet, available by sending an email request to nursing@grayson.edu .

The program is built to serve the workforce needs of the community and align with the current mission of Grayson College.  It aims to prepare the graduate to advance his/her career in professional nursing in a variety of health related settings.  A central focus of the program is on the continued development of an RN as a member of the profession, provider of patient-centered care, patient safety advocate, and member of the healthcare team. Mission Statement The mission of the Grayson College RN to BSN Nursing program is to prepare graduates to advance his/her career in professional nursing in a variety of health related settings. Philosophy The Nursing Faculty supports the vision, philosophy, and mission of Grayson College.  The Faculty believes that the community college provides an optimal setting for nursing education.  The College provides an atmosphere in which nursing education is complemented through the study of other disciplines. The Faculty ascribes to the following beliefs: Nursing is a profession that uses a comprehensive approach in assisting patients across the lifespan to achieve and maintain optimal health. Health and illness are relative states reflecting how patients perceive their ability to function and interact with their environment.  The environment refers to all the internal and external factors affecting the patient and the nurse.  The patient\u2019s state of health fluctuates on a continuum. The patient is the recipient of nursing care and includes individuals and families who may receive nursing care in institutional or community-based settings.  Although patients share common needs, each may experience unique responses.  Patients may have multiple complex needs with either predictable or unpredictable outcomes. The registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree fulfills the overlapping roles of Member of the Profession, Provider of Patient-Centered Care, Patient Safety Advocate, and Member of the Health Care Team.  Within these roles, the registered nurse utilizes assessment and analytical skills to synthesize information, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care.  The registered nurse prepared at the Bachelor\u2019s degree level functions as a professional in both autonomous and collaborative practice. Nursing education is a continuous learning process empowering students to grow his/her knowledge base.  The faculty plan and facilitate learning experiences that promote the application and integration of concept-theoretical knowledge necessary to achieve the program outcomes, while utilizing research principles and evidence-based practice. Major concepts integrated throughout the program of learning include: professionalism, personal accountability, advocacy, clinical decision making, patient teaching, caring approach, skill competency, resource management, safety, risk reduction, communication, coordination, and collaboration.  Knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to research, theoretical frameworks, management, and leadership principles, and the care of special populations such as the geriatric patient and community health will also be cultivated.  The program of study prepares graduates to demonstrate the essential competencies of graduates of Bachelor\u2019s Nursing Education Programs as defined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Opportunities are provided for individualized instruction, evaluation, guidance, and academic counseling, but the student is ultimately responsible for meeting learning outcomes and establishing a plan for lifelong learning as a professional. End-of-Program Student Learning Outcomes : Member of the Profession: Demonstrate responsibility and accountability in the quality of care for patients, families, populations and communities. Promote the profession of nursing through advocacy and leadership activities. Provider of Patient-Centered Care Incorporate theoretical knowledge and evidence-based research findings in the coordination of care for patients, families, populations, and communities. Synthesize knowledge from comprehensive health assessment data and evidence-based research to provide care for culturally, ethnically, and socially diverse patients, families, populations, and communities. Synthesize teaching plans for patients, families, populations, and communities to address health maintenance, health promotion, and risk reduction. Utilize clinical reasoning, knowledge, evidence-based practice, theoretical foundations, and research findings as a basis for decision-making and comprehensive patient care. Patient Safety Advocate Develop goals and outcomes utilizing theoretical knowledge and analysis, research, and evidence-based data to reduce patient and community risks. Design measures to promote a quality and safe environment for patients, self, families, communities, and populations. Member of the Healthcare Team Utilize leadership and management principles to assign and/or delegate nursing care to other members of the healthcare team in relation to the patient and organizational needs. Integrate referral needs, cost considerations, confidentiality, the efficiency of care, and the continuum of care as it relates to patients, families, communities, populations, and the healthcare organization.

Payment of Tuition and Fees All tuition and fees must be paid by payment deadlines. Payments may be made online through the Business Office. Payments can also be made in MyViking. A payment plan may also be available through MyViking. Excessive Credit Hours Texas Education Code Section 54.068 stipulates that the State of Texas will not provide funds to state institutions of higher education for excess semester credit hours earned by a resident undergraduate student. Since funding will not be provided by the State, and as permitted by State law, certain state institutions of higher education will charge tuition at the non-resident rate to students who exceed the semester credit hour limit of their program. Effective with students initially enrolling in the fall 1999 semester and subsequent terms, hours, including dual credit hours attempted by a resident undergraduate student at any public Texas institution of higher education that exceeds more than 45 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree plan in which the student is enrolled. Effective with students initially enrolling in the fall 2006 semester and subsequent terms, hours, including dual credit hours attempted by a resident undergraduate student at any public Texas institution of higher education that exceeds more than 30 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree program in which the student is enrolled. For purposes of excess hours, resident undergraduate student includes a non-resident student who is permitted to pay resident tuition. Students could be impacted by this law and should be aware of the impact of taking courses in excess of their degree program, and if they plan to transfer to other institutions of higher education in Texas. Third Attempt \u201cRider 50\u201d Tuition Students of GC are charged a higher tuition rate for each course they repeat three or more times at a rate of $50 per credit hour.  The \u201cthird attempt\u201d course tuition rate applies to the majority of credit courses counting each time a student has taken a course since fall 2002. \u201cThird attempt\u201d tuition does not apply to developmental education courses and repeatable courses. A student enrolled in his/her last semester at GC taking a course required for graduation will not be charged the higher rate even though the course has been taken three or more times. The qualifying student should apply for graduation before the beginning of their last semester in the Office of Admissions and Records.  The student must notify the Office of Admissions and Records of their final semester of attendance before graduation and which course(s) is the repeated, required course to avoid the higher \u201cthird attempt\u201d course tuition rate. Returned Check Policy A $25.00 returned check fee is charged for each check returned by the bank. A stop-payment is considered the same as a returned check. All returned checks and returned check fees must be paid by cash, cashier\u2019s check, MasterCard or Visa. Students are notified of returned checks by certified mail. If the returned check is not redeemed by the deadline specified in the letter, the student is withdrawn from classes for that term and a hold is placed on the student\u2019s record. Subsequent reinstatement for that term can be granted only through a successful appeal to the Registrar and requires a $50.00 reinstatement fee. Financial Obligations Until all financial obligations to the College have been satisfied, a hold is placed on a student\u2019s records which bars the student from registering or having an official transcript issued. Residency Requirements for Tuition Purposes To be considered a Texas resident, students must clearly establish residence in Texas for the 12 months preceding their enrollment. Documentation of Texas residency may be required in addition to the application for admissions. An in-county student is an individual who is a resident of Texas (as defined by the Texas Education Code, Section 54.075) and who resides in Grayson County on the census date of the term. An out-of-country student is a resident of Texas (as defined by the Texas Education Code, Section 54.075) who resides outside of Grayson County on the census date of the term. An out-of-state student is an individual who has not resided in Texas for 12 months preceding registration. Anyone who enrolls as a non-resident of Texas is presumed to remain in that classification as long as he/she continues as a student. Most students on temporary visas will also be classified as nonresidents for tuition purposes. Contact the Admissions and Records Office for visas eligible for in-state residency. NOTE: Oklahoma residents are classified as non-residents but are eligible to receive a waiver of non-resident tuition and will be charged out-of-district rates, upon providing the same documentation as required of Texas residents. The responsibility for registering under the proper residency classification is that of the student, and any question concerning the student\u2019s right to classification as a resident of Grayson County must be clarified prior to enrollment at Grayson College. Changes of address affecting residency should be reported promptly to the Admissions and Records Office. The Admissions and Records Office handles all residency appeals. The residency appeal and supporting documentation is the responsibility of the student. Documents to Support Residency Documentation of Texas residency may be required in order to pay in-state tuition. Generally, the following documents may be used in meeting residency requirements: Texas public, private, home school or high school transcript (if enrolled in the last 12 months) showing three years of attendance and graduation date. Letter of employment on company letterhead (verifying one year of employment). Proof of paying in-state tuition at a Texas public institution of higher education during the previous fall or spring long semesters. Waiver for Property Ownership Persons who own property in Grayson County and reside outside the taxing district may be eligible for an ad-valorem waiver. Contact the Admissions and Records Office for information. Tuition Rebates for Certain Undergraduates First-time students entering Texas public institutions of higher education may be eligible for a $1,000 tuition rebate after earning a baccalaureate degree from a public Texas university. To be eligible for the rebate, a student must be a Texas resident and have attempted no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree in the catalog under which they graduated. Community college students hoping to qualify for the rebate should check with academic advising at the university where they plan to transfer to be sure the courses they are taking will apply to the university degree program they are pursuing. For specific eligibility information, contact the Advising office at GC. Refund Policy Withdrawal from the Institution or Reduction of Credit Hour Load It is the responsibility of the student to complete the steps necessary to officially withdraw from college. Students may add and drop classes, as well as withdraw from the college by visiting their Success Coach in Advising.

Students receiving Title IV funds (Pell, other federal grants and student loans), who subsequently withdraw from classes or do not begin attendance in all courses, will be required to return all or a portion of the federal financial aid received in a process called calculation of Return to Title IV. Only the percentage of aid earned (determined by the percentage of time attended) will be eligible for retention on the student\u2019s behalf. Any aid that is not earned must be returned to its source. If there is a student account balance resulting from these adjustments, the student is responsible for payment.

Financial aid opportunities include: scholarships, grants, loans, exemptions, vouchers, work opportunities, and other sources to qualified students enrolled in eligible programs. The level of federal and/ or state financial aid provided to students is based upon demonstrated financial need. Processing time is usually three to four weeks; students are encouraged to complete a FAFSA (fafsa.ed.gov) as early as possible. The Department of Education releases the FAFSA application on October 1 st of each year. The income information needed to complete the FAFSA is now considered to be the prior prior year. Example: the FAFSA for the 2020-2021 year will use 2018 income tax returns. Advantages of filing your FAFSA as early as possible: Ample time to submit any documents requested by the Department of Education Many state funds are awarded based on priority date of submission Time for financial planning for the upcoming school year Many awards are allocated by funding amounts (first come, first serve eligibility) Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid (SAP) Regulations for federal and state financial aid programs require that students make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to be eligible for financial aid funding. SAP consists of three components and all three components must be satisfactory in order to be eligible to receive federal and/or state financial aid. SAP will be determined at the end of each long semester. It is important to be aware of how this evaluation relates to Title IV state aid and differs from academic requirements and earning a degree. Although standards may differ among colleges, all colleges are required to include certain components detailed below. Students who do not have an academic history at Grayson College (first-time college enrollment or incoming transfer student) are evaluated upon receipt of their FAFSA information and enrollment. Satisfactory Academic Progress = GPA + Pace (Completion Rate) + Max Time Frame All three standards must be met for SAP to be maintained. SAP is evaluated using cumulative grades and credit hours, this includes semesters when no aid was received. Grade Point Average: Students enrolled in college-level course work must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0. Grades of A, B, C, D, and F contribute toward the cumulative GPA. Pace (Completion Rate): Students must earn at least 67% of all courses attempted in their academic career. Grades of A, B, C, D, P, and S are treated as successfully completed and earned. Grades F, W, and I are not. Both developmental and college-level course work is included in pace. All repeat courses are included in attempted credits and any courses with passing grades are treated as earned. Courses taken on an audit basis and/ or continuing education classes, do not count when determining enrollment status for financial aid, nor considered as courses earned or unearned for purposes of determining pace. Pace = Cumulative Earned Hours (Credits) ÷ Cumulative Attempted Hours (Credits) Max Time Frame: Students pursuing a degree and/or certificate may not receive financial aid for more than 150% of the attempted credit hours of the published program length as stated in the Grayson College Catalog. Withdrawals, drops, repeated courses, and transfer hours are counted toward the total hours attempted each semester. Warning / Suspension / Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial Aid Warning: Financial Aid Warning occurs the first semester following when the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0 and/or cumulative pace is less than 67% for any semester. The Director of Financial Aid also reserves the right, through professional judgment, to place a student on Financial Aid Warning. There is no need to appeal financial aid warning. Students will receive financial aid for one additional semester while on warning; this includes student loans. If, by the end of the semester warning, a student is not meeting satisfactory academic progress, the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. There is no warning period for exceeding the max time frame. Financial Aid Suspension: If, after being on financial aid warning, a student has a cumulative grade point average less than 2.0 and/ or a cumulative completion rate less than 67% they will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. If a student exceeds max time frame for their program they will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students on Financial Aid suspension may continue to enroll at Grayson College at their own expense. Students may regain their eligibility for financial aid by raising their GPA and/ or Pace. Appeal Process: Students placed on financial aid suspension may have the right to appeal due to mitigating circumstance(s) that affected the student\u2019s progression toward the successful completion of their program of study. Information regarding the appeal process can be found online at grayson.edu/financialaid . Academic Fresh Start: Students who apply and receive approval for Academic Fresh Start for GC\u2019s Office of Admissions and Records does not exempt them from meeting all three components of satisfactory academic progress for financial aid at Grayson College. All courses will be considered in the calculations for satisfactory academic progress components for financial aid including fresh start. Cumulative GPA, cumulative attempted, and cumulative earned hours will not be recalculated for satisfactory academic progress. Repeated Courses and Courses Dropped before the official census date: Credits that have been repeated will be considered toward the max time frame for the student\u2019s program and be counted in the calculation for Pace. Courses dropped before census date will not be considered in max-time or pace calculation. Students who withdraw completely from their courses or receive any combination of all F, W, and/or I: Federal regulations require the institution to perform a Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation for all students who are within this category. Students will be notified of the amount of unearned aid that must be returned to GC and/ or the Department of Education. Establishing Your Aid in the Office of Financial Aid: Each Student seeking federal and/ or state financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students and/ or parents are encouraged to obtain an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically. Failure to sign the application electronically may delay the processing of your application. Grayson College\u2019s school code (003570) must be entered on the FAFSA in order for the Office of Financial Aid to receive the application. To complete a FAFSA electronically go to the website www.FAFSA.ed.gov. Computers with internet access are located in the Grayson College library or outside the Office of Financial Aid in the Student Affairs Building. Financial Aid status can be reviewed by accessing MyViking on the college website. For more information about requirements, qualifications, and application deadlines, contact the Office of Financial Aid. Federal Pell Grant: The Federal Pell Grant Program was designed to provide more students with the opportunity to attend college. Grants are based upon financial need and are awarded to eligible students enrolled in an approved degree or certificate programs. The length of this grant is limited to 6 full years or 12 full-time semesters. Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG): A limited number of students who demonstrate financial need and whose circumstances justify financial assistance in addition to the Pell Grant may be eligible for this grant. Students must be enrolled for at least six semester hours of college credit course work or the equivalent per semester. TEOG Grant (Texas Educational Opportunity Grant): This grant is awarded based on eligibility, financial need, and availability of funds. The purpose of the TEOG Grant program is to provide grant aid to financially needy students enrolled in Texas public colleges. Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG): This grant is awarded based on financial need and availability of funds. Students must be enrolled for at least three semester hours of college credit course work or the equivalent during each semester. No individual award may be more than the student\u2019s financial need. Federal Direct Subsidized Loan: This loan is available to qualified students based upon financial need. Loan limits are published on the GC website and are available in the Office of Financial Aid. The interest rate, determined by the federal government, does not accrue and does not have to be paid while the borrower is enrolled in at least half-time and while the borrower is within the time frame of their program length. Repayment usually begins six months after the student graduates, drops below half-time, or leaves school. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: This loan is not based on financial need and may be available to students who may not be eligible for the subsidized loans; but may not exceed the limits, set by the federal government, listed on the GC website. The interest rate is determined by the federal government and begins accruing immediately on the date of disbursement. Federal Direct PLUS Loan: This loan is available to qualified parents of dependent students, who may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial assistance. The interest rate is set by the federal government and is a variable rate, not to exceed 10%. Repayment of PLUS loans begins within 60 days of the final disbursement. Applicants of this loan must pass a credit check. Recipients of Veterans Educational Benefits If you are a veteran, spouse of a veteran or a dependent of a veteran and you are receiving VA Educational Benefits, please check with your financial aid advisor/ counselor before completing the loan process. Student Employment All students employed in the Work Study program are required to complete an application for employment and must submit to a background check. Work Study positions are available on and off campus with some community service positions and elementary school tutors in Grayson County. Applications may be picked up in the Office of Financial Aid or downloaded on MyViking. Federal Work Study Program: Grayson College provides work opportunities for students through the federally funded College Work Study Program. The primary purpose of this program is to provide part-time employment for students attending GC. It is designed for students who demonstrate financial need are enrolled in at least six semester hours and who need additional earnings to continue to pursue their studies. State Work Study Program: This program provides a limited number of work opportunities for eligible students who are Texas residents and enrolled in at least six semester hours of college credit course work. State work study mentorship program : Provides work opportunities to eligible students who are Texas residents enrolled in at least six semester hours. Work up to twenty hours per week, flexible work schedule, mentor students to meet Texas state 60x30 initiative. Return to Title IV (R2T4) When a recipient of Title IV funds (grant and/ or loan) completely withdraws or fails from an institution during a payment period or period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, Grayson College will determine the amount of aid the student earned as of the students withdrawal date or last day of academic-related activity (34 CFR 668.22(a)). Each student is responsible for withdrawal from their courses if they do not plan to attend. Do not assume your courses will be dropped for nonpayment or nonattendance. A student may owe a balance if they enrolled and did not withdraw from classes prior to the first class day. It is suggested that students maintain documentation indicating their withdrawal date. Students receiving Title IV funds, who subsequently completely withdraw from or fail all their courses, may be required to return a portion of the federal financial aid they received. Only the percentage of aid earned (determined by the percentage of time they attended) will be eligible for retention on the student\u2019s behalf. Any aid that is not earned must be returned to its source. If there is a student account balance resulting from an R2T4 adjustment, the student is responsible for payment. Further details can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. If a student owes a repayment to the Department of Education, they may call DOE Collections at 1-800-621-3115. If a balance is owed to Grayson College, contact the Business Office at 903-463-8718. Rehabilitation Assistance The Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) offers assistance with tuition and required fees to students, who have certain physical or emotional disabilities, provided the vocational objective selected by the student has been approved by the appropriate representative of the commission.

In order to receive VA educational assistance payments for those courses taken at Grayson College which are part of another institution\u2019s degree plan, students must obtain a parent letter from the primary institution (university). The official college transcript will provide a final record of the credits attempted by the veteran each semester. Official drop dates are published in the Academic Calendar. The last date of attendance in a course that was dropped will be determined from the date submitted at the Office of Admissions and Records. Final grades are submitted by the faculty and maintained on permanent file in the Office of Admissions and Records. Veterans Administration rules require that the College interrupt training and report the names of veterans who are placed on scholastic suspension and those who are not making satisfactory progress. A veteran who applies for admission to Grayson College must submit official transcripts from all previous colleges attended. If any such credit earned is applicable toward the degree plan of the student, it will be approved by the appropriate academic dean. Minimum Standards of Progress for Students Receiving VA Educational Benefits Semester Hour or Certificate Programs Satisfactory Progress A student who is receiving VA educational benefits must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher to be considered as making satisfactory progress. Probation A VA student who fails to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher after one semester shall be placed on Academic Probation. The student shall be reported to the Veterans Administration as being placed on Academic Probation. Suspension A VA student on probation who fails to achieve a current GPA of 2.0 or higher at the end of the first probationary period shall be reported to the Veterans Administration Regional Office as making unsatisfactory progress. A student has the right to appeal to the suspension. A student will not be certified for VA educational benefits without an approved appeal. Appeal Procedure Students receiving VA benefits will be placed on academic suspension due to lack of satisfactory progress. Students may appeal the denial of VA certification due to an unusual or extraordinary situation that affected the student\u2019s progression toward the successful completion of his or her program of study. Examples of unusual circumstances include injury or illness of the student or immediate family member, death of an immediate relative of the student, or other extenuating circumstances. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services and should include: an explanation of the reason(s) why the minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards were not achieved and supply a copy of all supporting documents. Students must provide a copy of their degree plan that has been signed by their success coach. If the appeal is reviewed and subsequently approved by the Appeal Committee, the student will be placed on Probationary Status and on a Success Plan. The Success Plan will set out criteria for success for the upcoming semester. The Success Plan must be signed by the student and the Veterans Service Office Success Coach. The student must show progress by successfully completing the attempted courses with at least a 2.50 GPA for the term. The student must meet attendance requirements during that term. The Director of Financial Aid and Veterans Services shall also have the authority to place conditions upon the certification for those cases covered under Veterans Educational Benefits provided through the institution. Students who have their appeal approved will be notified of the conditions that must be met in order to regain eligibility for VA certification through the institution. The student\u2019s progress will be re-evaluated at the end of each semester. If conditions of the appeal and Success Plan are met, the student will remain on the Success plan. If the cumulative GPA is more than 2.0 at the end of the semester, the student will be removed from probation status. If the conditions of the appeal and Success Plan are not met, the student is placed on Academic Suspension. Attendance Policy for Students Receiving VA Educational Benefits Students using Veterans\u2019 benefits attending Grayson College will have attendance monitored until the time the student drops, graduates, or completes the program. Unsatisfactory attendance shall be reported to the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) even if the VA student has completed the required number of hours to complete and no refund is due to the student and/or refund sources. Therefore, the attendance policy (15% of the total program and/or being absent five {5} consecutive days) will apply throughout the student\u2019s stay in school. All violations of the attendance policy shall be reported to DVA on VA Form 22-1999b within 30 days at such time the student exceeds the allowed number of absences. The student may be administratively withdrawn from any course for noncompliance to the VA student attendance policy.

Transfer from Another U.S. College: During their initial term at GC, transfer students who desire admission must provide official transcripts from all colleges attended on or before the census date. A hold will be placed if transcripts are not received by the census date.  Students applying as a transfer must have transferable college credit from a U.S. regionally accredited college. Developmental courses and continuing education courses are not considered transferable. Official test scores must be submitted prior to registration. Transfer students must follow Texas Success Initiative policies for demonstrating college readiness. Students who have been suspended for any reason from another college will not be eligible for admission at Grayson College until they are eligible to return to their previous college or they obtain approval for admission from their Instructional Dean, Director of Success Coaches, or the Registrar.

Complete the GC application through the Grayson College Admissions Application or Apply Texas website and submit admission requirements as listed above. Determine TSI (Texas Success Initiative) status and schedule an assessment if required.  All GC students, unless exempt or TSI waived, must take an approved test for TSI before enrolling. The results of these tests will not be a condition of admission but will be used for placement purposes. See the Texas Success Initiative Requirements section of the catalog for additional information. Provide official high school and/or college transcripts. Provide proof of meningitis vaccination or meet an eligible exception. Meet with a Success Coach to discuss academic plans and register for courses. Pay for classes by the deadline listed in MyViking.  Note: Admission to GC does not guarantee enrollment into Health Science programs that maintain additional entrance requirements. Admission Requirements for Health Science Students Application \u2014 Application forms for individual programs must be completed and submitted with high school or college transcripts or a copy of GED scores to a Health Science Advisor. Applicants must be eligible for admission to GC. Testing \u2014 Acceptable scores on assessment of basic skills as required by the College and individual program requirements . After Acceptance to individual programs students must submit: Completion of required healthcare provider form and negative tuberculosis test Current CPR certification (Red Cross or American Heart BLS Health Care Provider level) Documentation of required immunizations Prior to clinical course rotations, students must pass a drug screen and criminal background check (at the student\u2019s expense and completed as scheduled through a GC approved company).  Criteria that prevent attendance at clinical sites and/or require withdrawal from the course are stipulated in the related program policies. Assessment for All Students Because Grayson College wants students to experience academic success, new students are asked to take reading, writing, and mathematics assessments to determine levels of college readiness and, if necessary, to place students in courses designed to prepare students for college. In accordance with the Texas Success Initiative, students are required to take a state-approved assessment prior to enrollment at GC or to demonstrate college readiness with performance on the ACT, SAT, or STAAR. Students who enroll in Level 1 Certificate programs are exempt from assessment. U.S. military veterans with DD 214 records on file are also exempt from assessment. Students with deficient scores or who are not otherwise exempt must take the TSI Assessment, which is aligned to the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards. It offers placement scores and a diagnostic profile of students\u2019 college readiness and/or adult basic education levels. The TSI Assessment is offered during all normal testing center hours. No appointment is necessary, and the testing center hours can be found on the testing center\u2019s webpage; a link to this page can be found on the Grayson College homepage. All students will be required to complete a pre-assessment activity before starting their exam, which is primarily designed to help students perform better on the assessment. The test fee is $30 for the whole test or $10 for each part (reading, writing, and math). Students with a disability are not exempt from the Texas Success Initiative assessment requirement but may receive testing accommodations with appropriate documentation. Assessment scores do not affect admission to the college but are used in the advisement process for course selection. Students demonstrating weak basic skills on a state-approved assessment will receive an individualized academic success plan, which describes the options available for each student to demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing, and math. Test scores needed to demonstrate college readiness are: \u200b TSI Assessment Subject Score Mathematics 350 Reading 351 Writing 340 It also requires an essay score of at least 4, or a score less than 340 and an ABE Diagnostic level of at least 4 with an essay score of at least 5. Currently, students are exempt from the assessment requirements if they meet one of the following criteria. Students must present proof of exemption at the time of registration. Associate's or Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited institution. College credit hours within the past five years from a private or out-of-state public institution with grades of A, B, or C in approved courses in all three skill areas.  Eligible test scores indicated below: COMPOSITE MATH ENGLISH ACT (within 5 yrs) 23 19 19 COMPOSITE MATH Evidence-Based Reading and Writing SAT (within 5 yrs) 1070 530 500 before March 2016 480 after March 2016  Assessment waivers are available to students who meet one of the following criteria: Personal enrichment students enrolling in one to two courses on the personal enrichment list for a maximum of two semesters. Visiting/transient students from out-of-state or private college dually enrolled at GC and an out-of-state or private institution, but not seeking a degree from GC. Students must demonstrate enrollment at other schools during the previous long semester each time they register at GC. Students enrolled in one-year certificate programs (15-42 credits) unless otherwise specified for specific programs. Students who are serving on active duty as a member of the armed forces, U.S. reserve component, or are a Veteran and have DD 214 member copy 2 or 4 are exempt from taking the TSI test. Please note that some academic courses require students to demonstrate college readiness before enrolling in them. Academic Success Plan  Attendance Attendance in developmental classes is required. Students who are out of compliance with their Academic Success Plan will be required to enroll in appropriate self-paced developmental classes to regain compliance that semester. Failure to do so will result in being barred from future enrollment in academic coursework until the TSI/College-Readiness requirements are met in appropriate skill areas (or, under special situations, permission is granted by the appropriate Dean.) Students who fail to attend classes by the census date will automatically be dropped as a no-show. Students who are not TSI exempt must demonstrate college readiness for reading, writing, and math in one of the following ways: Passing scores on the reading, writing, and math TSI assessment Successful completion of an approved college preparatory class (HB5) in reading, writing and/or math Successful completion of MATH 0420 - Math Literacy Successful completion of a corequisite course in reading, writing, and/or math Upon meeting the standards for college readiness, students will not be required to register for developmental courses. Mathways: College level math courses are designed to serve the curriculum needs of unique degrees, and MATH 0420 - Math Literacy will prepare the student for most of these options; however, many science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) degrees will require the completion of MATH 1314 - College Algebra, and students pursuing those degrees will be advised to enroll in the corequisite MATH 1314 - College Algebra with MATH 0240 - Transition to College Algebra Lab to prepare for the level of math covered in College Algebra. Review the degree plan and/or speak with a Success Coach for more guidance. Corequisites (Reading/Writing) : Students who have been placed in a corequisite course will enroll in an appropriate developmental lab course (INRW) in addition to the college-ready course.  Attendance is required in both the college-ready course and the lab for credit. Upon successful completion of the highest college-ready course, the student will be considered TSI complete in reading and writing and may continue without further developmental English courses. Students wishing to retake the TSI may do so at any time; however, it is recommended that students work closely with developmental instructors to determine whether they are prepared to pass the test. Dual Credit (Adding HB5 Prep Course Section High school juniors who take but do not pass the TSI may be enrolled in a college preparatory class if their high school has agreed to the terms set forth by the memorandum of understanding between Grayson College and participating ISD\u2019s.  Students who earn an A, B, or C in an English or math college preparatory class will be considered TSI complete in that subject area. Instructional Services (College Support for Online Learners) Writing Center The Grayson Writing Center provides consultation for academic and professional writing. Trained consultants act as an attentive and responsive audience to provide feedback at any stage of the writing process for any discipline. Online support is available through the center\u2019s website. Math Hub The Math Hub provides a suitably quiet space for students to work on homework or lab work and have questions answered upon request. Our goal is to lead students to do the work. The Math Hub is also equipped with computers for students to use for their math classes, whether it be checking Canvas for an assignment, working online homework, completing an Excel project for Statistics, or watching a math video. Students seeking one-on-one tutoring should visit the Math Hub to sign up for a weekly, one-hour timeslot. Advising Grayson College strongly encourages all students, regardless of academic skill level, to seek individual success coaching prior to scheduling classes in MyViking.

Advising activities are designed to assist students in the successful completion of their needs and goals. Students who need additional career assistance should seek assistance from the Advising Office located in the Student Affairs Building. Academic Fresh Start Students may, within their first semester of readmission, file for Academic Fresh Start in the Office of Admissions and Records. All academic course credits or course grades earned exactly ten or more years prior to the starting date of the semester in which the applicant seeks to enroll will not be considered in the calculation of the grade point average. A student will forfeit the use of all credits earned prior to enrollment under the Academic Fresh Start Policy. Courses taken prior to this time will not be used in the calculations of the student\u2019s grade point average. The student\u2019s record will be inscribed with the notation \u201cAcademic Fresh Start Granted (date).\u201d Policies concerning Academic Fresh Start are applicable only to Grayson College. Other colleges may not recognize the reprieve. Academic Fresh Start does not pertain to financial aid at Grayson College. To request Academic Fresh Start, a student must submit a completed application for admission, a written petition for Academic Fresh Start, and all transcripts or prior college or university work to the Office of Admissions and Records prior to the beginning of the semester of application. Testing Service The Testing Center provides testing services to meet a wide range of needs. The Testing Center assesses students\u2019 basic skills for planning successful academic programs through the administration of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment.

Generally, a semester hour of credit is given for satisfactory performance in one lecture period of 50 minutes per week for a 16-week semester or equivalent. Two hours of laboratory work are usually considered to be the equivalent of one hour of lecture. Credit for Transfer Courses Credit for courses in which a passing grade (\"D\" or better) has been earned may be transferred to the college from colleges and universities accredited through regional associations.  Appropriate Grayson College personnel will complete course-by-course evaluations as needed for degree or program planning. Students should visit their Success Coach for a degree audit once all official transcripts have been received. Individual courses transferred will not be posted to the student's record. Official transcripts from all higher education institutions must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Records. Generally, the college will not accept junior and senior level coursework as transfer credit unless there is an approved articulation agreement with the specific four-year college or university. Credit for Foreign Courses Students requesting credit for foreign coursework must first apply for admission to Grayson College and enroll in courses. To receive transfer credit from foreign institutions, students must submit an official copy of their college transcript and a course-by-course international credential evaluation from a foreign credential evaluation service recognized as a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), such as World Education Services (WES) or Foreign Credential Service of America (FCSA) to the GC Admissions Office. The request for evaluation and any costs associated are the responsibility of the student. GC will determine the total number of semester transfer credits by the end of the first semester of enrollment at GC. To avoid additional costs and delays in posting information, students are encouraged to acquire these materials promptly. GC does not accept foreign coursework for courses in English and Speech. For the purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), students who have completed the equivalent of a U.S. associates or bachelor\u2019s degree from an accredited college or university outside the United States are exempt from placement testing. In order to receive this exemption, students must submit an official copy of their college transcript and a course-by-course international credential evaluation from a foreign credential evaluation service recognized as a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), such as World Education Services (WES) or Foreign Credential Service of America (FCSA) to the GC Admissions Office. The request for evaluation and any costs associated are the responsibility of the student. Foreign students who have not completed a degree are required to meet TSI requirements before enrolling in courses that lead to an associate degree. Students enrolling in certificate programs must complete the required placement testing for the certificate they are seeking. Resolution of Transfer Disputes The following procedures shall be followed by public institutions of higher education in the resolution of credit transfer disputes involving lower-division courses: If an institution of higher education does not accept course credit earned by a student at another institution of higher education, the receiving institution shall give written notice to the student and to the sending institution that transfer of the course credit is denied. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Board rules and/or guidelines. If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the sending institution within 45 days after the date the student received written notice of denial, the institution whose credit is denied for transfer shall notify the Commissioner of the denial. The Commissioner of Higher Education or the Commissioner\u2019s designee shall make the final determination about the dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to the involved student and institutions. Student Classification Academic Level: Student are classified as freshmen, sophomore, junior or senior according to the amount of college credit they have completed. A freshman is one who has completed less than thirty semester credit hours of college credit; a sophomore is one who has completed at least thirty but less than sixty semester credit hours of college credit; a junior is one who has completed at least sixty but less than ninety semester credit hours of college credit; and a senior is one who has completed at least ninety semester credit hours of college credit. A student who is not a bachelor degree seeking student at Grayson College will remain classified as a sophomore student when semester credit hours exceed sixty college credits. Student Load Academic Load: Students who are enrolled for twelve or more semester hours are considered full-time students. Long Semester: The normal load during the regular semester is six (6) academic courses or from fourteen to eighteen semester hours. Credit hours are taken during a 1st Term and 2nd Term are added to classes taken during the long session to determine academic loads. Students who wish to enroll in nineteen or more credit hours must obtain the permission of either the Director of Success Coaches, appropriate Dean, or the Director of Admissions and Records. Summer Session: The normal load during each term of the summer session is six semester hours. The maximum load for a six-week term is seven semester hours. Students may not earn in excess of fourteen semester hours during the two-term summer session, including summer evening sessions. Mini Sessions: Students can enroll in two courses for the 5 week mini-session or one course for the 3 week mini- session or one course for the 5 week and course in the 3 week. Students may not enroll in two courses in the 5 week and one course in the three week. Mid Term Session: The normal load for the eight-week term is two academic courses. However, the normal load during the regular long semester is six (6) academic courses or from fourteen to eighteen semester hours. Credit hours taken during a 1st Half-Session and 2nd Half-Session are added to classes taken during the long session to determine academic loads. Students who wish to enroll in nineteen or more credit hours must obtain the permission of either the Director of Success Coaches, appropriate deans, or the Director of Admissions and Records. Course Load (ECC Local): The normal course load for the fall or spring semester shall be 15 semester hours. Course loads in excess of 16 semester hours shall require approval by the Vice President of Instruction. The maximum course load shall be no more than 21 semester hours. The normal course load for the summer session shall be six semester hours for each six-week term or 12 semester hours for a full summer semester. Course loads in excess of six semester hours per term or 12 semester hours per summer semester shall require approval by the vice president for student affairs. The maximum summer credit hours earned shall be eight semester hours for one term or 16 semester hours for a full summer semester. Auditing a Course When space is available, persons wishing to audit a course may do so by completing an application and meeting the admission criteria stated in the Admissions section of the Catalog. Full tuition will be charged for auditing a course. Auditors must complete the Request for Audit form in the Admissions office on or before the official census date published in the academic calendar. After the official census date, a student\u2019s audit status may not be changed. Students auditing courses will receive grades of AU (Audit). Class Attendance Academic success is closely associated with regular class attendance and course participation. All successful students, whether on campus or online, are expected to be highly self-motivated. All students are required to participate in courses regularly and are obliged to participate in class activities and complete and submit assignments following their professors\u2019 instructions. Students taking courses during compressed semester time frames such as mini-mester, summer sessions, and mid-semester should plan to spend significantly more time per week on the course.  Responsibility for work missed because of illness or school business is placed upon the student. Instructors are required to include in their syllabi the attendance policy for the courses(s) they teach. The College considers absences equal to or greater than 15% of the course\u2019s requirements to be excessive. Students enrolled in developmental courses face additional consequences for poor attendance. See the Attendance section of the Academic Success Plan. In online courses, a student shall be considered present and/or having attended in he/she has completed one of the following: Makes a post to a class discussion Submits a written assignment or project via file upload Takes a quiz or exam Submits work through a third party software such as Pearson or McGraw Hill, and the grade is transferred to the LMS Gradebook An email from the student showing that the student initiated contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course Student Absences on Religious Holy Days Grayson College will allow students who are absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence. The form for requesting absence for holy days may be obtained from the Vice President of Instruction. \u201cReligious holy day\u201d denotes a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under section 11:20, Tax Code. A student who is excused under this section may not be penalized for the absence, but the instructor may appropriately respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete the assignment or examination. Dropping a Class A class drop means that a student has dropped one or more classes but remains enrolled in other classes for the semester. During periods of early registration, students who enroll on-line using My Viking may also drop one or more classes via the same method. After the deadline for schedule changes passes, all drops must be handled by the student contacting each professor or program director either in person or via email for the course(s) they wish to drop. Professors will email drops@grayson.edu to request a drop. No drop requests will be accepted after the drop deadline for the semester. The Office of Admissions and Records does not accept drop deadline appeals. Students may not drop courses at Grayson College over the phone. SB 1231 State of Texas Limit on Drops (ONLY affects drops occurring after census date) Under section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, \u201can institution of higher education may not permit student to drop more than six courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education.\u201d This statute was enacted by the State of Texas in spring 2007 and applies to students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as first-time freshmen in fall 2007 or later. Any course that a student drops is counted toward the six-course limit if (1) the student drops a course after census date or (2) the student is not dropping the course in order to withdraw from the institution. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to drop a course without having it counted toward this limit, but it is the responsibility of the student to establish that good cause before the drop. Students with questions should contact the Advising Office or the Office of Admissions & Records for more information before dropping a course. Exceptions for Good Cause. A student shall be permitted to exceed the limit on the number of dropped courses for any of the following reasons: A severe illness or other debilitating condition that affects the student\u2019s ability to satisfactorily complete a course The care of a sick, injured, or needy person if providing that care affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete a course The death of a member of the student\u2019s family The death of a person who has a sufficiently close relationship to the student The student\u2019s active military duty service The active military service of a member of the student\u2019s family or a person who has a sufficiently close relationship to the student A change in the student\u2019s work schedule that is beyond the student\u2019s control and affects the student\u2019s ability to satisfactorily complete the course Withdrawing from College A withdrawal indicates a student is no longer enrolled in any courses at the College for the term. During periods of registration, students who enroll online using MyViking may also withdraw from school via the same method. Students wishing to withdraw from all courses must first contact their professor or program director in person or via email.  After contact is made, students should proceed to advising for further instructions. Students may not withdraw from Grayson College over the phone. Students who withdraw prior to the semester's drop deadline will receive a W. The Office of Admissions and Records does not accept withdrawal date deadline appeals. Merely discontinuing class attendance does not constitute withdrawal from school. Students who do not officially withdraw may be given a grade of F at the discretion of the instructor. Change of Schedule During periods of registration, students who have registered online using MyViking may change their schedules via the same method. Students cannot change their schedule or drop a class online through MyViking after the schedule change deadline. All students who wish to change their schedules must do so before the end of the schedule change period published in the Academic Calendar. After the deadline, classes are dropped in Advising until the drop deadline for the semester. After the census date of each term, students in online courses initiate drops by contacting their instructor. Classes dropped on or before the official census date of the term will not appear on the student\u2019s transcript. Credit Award Program The credit award program is a means by which students may be awarded college credit for past experience or education that is equivalent to courses offered at Grayson College. The learning must be applicable to the student\u2019s educational goals. Credit may be awarded by the following methods: CLEP Advanced Placement Exam Departmental Exam International Baccalaureate Clock Hour Conversion Tech Prep Military Training/College Credit For Heroes (CCFH) Dantes Professional Certification  Students seeking credit award for tests other than those listed above should check with the Office of Admissions and Records. A student may not receive credit award for courses in which he/she has enrolled at GC or any other regionally accredited institution. A maximum of 24 credit hours may be earned through credit award. Credit award is accomplished on a course by course basis. A grade of P will be given for the courses earned through credit award. No grade points are associated with the grade of P. Although credit award may count toward hours needed for graduation at GC, other institutions are not obligated to accept the credit awarded because each institution sets is own policy regarding tests and scores accepted for credit award. Accordingly, students transferring credit awarded at other institutions must meet GC credit award requirements for the credit to be posted at GC. International students may not apply credit award towards the 12-hour enrollment requirement according to the Department of Homeland Security. Military Service Credit Award Veteran students must provide GC with a copy of their Joint Service Transcript (JST). GC will evaluate each military training transcript for course equivalency on a course-by-course basis. An academically qualified faculty member will conduct all course equivalency evaluations. Upon the transcript evaluations, all eligible courses are added to the GC transcript. Transcribed courses may not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the total credit required in the declared degree program. Twenty five percent (25%) of the credit in the declared degree program must be earned by taking courses at Grayson College. A grade of P is given for the courses earned through military credit award. No grade points are associated with the grade of P. Military award credit may count towards hours needed for graduation at GC. Other institutions\u2019 are not obligated to accept the credit awarded. Accordingly, students transferring credit awarded at other institutions must meet GC credit award requirements for the credit to be posted at GC. In addition, Veteran students will have their JSTs evaluated by the Texas College Credit for Heroes (CCFH) program. Approved credits will result in an official transcript from Central Texas College. Mirror Course Credit Award GC offers \"mirror courses\" that allow enrollment into a regular academic credit class through the Continuing Education (CE) department. No formal college admission process is required. Students earn a grade of either S for satisfactorily passing course requirements or a U for unsatisfactory (failing the class), but receive no academic credit for these mirror courses. However, academic credit may be sought under the following conditions: The course in which the student enrolled is equivalent to or the same course taught for credit. The student has successfully completed at least 6 credit hours of academic coursework at the time of application for converting the mirror course to credit. The request is made no more than 3 years from the start of the semester in which the mirror course was taken. Credit may not be granted for courses that have an unmet TSI requirement. The student\u2019s transcript will reflect P in the pass/fail grade for satisfactorily completing the course. This course will not be calculated in the student's GPA.

International Baccalaureate Diploma The International Baccalaureate Diploma is an international program of courses and exams offered at the high school level. Texas institutions of higher education must award 24 hours of course specific college credit in subject-appropriate areas on all IB exams with scores of 4 or above as long as the incoming freshmen have earned an IB diploma. However, course credit does not have to be awarded on any IB exams where the score received is a 3 or less. This may mean that such students will not receive 24 hours of college credit, even if they have an IB diploma. Students bringing in an IB transcript for credit evaluation should consider the total number of qualifying credits to be awarded. Additional hours above the required amount to graduate may have an adverse impact on students\u2019 financial aid or other grant programs. In addition, no Texas public university or college shall be required to accept in transfer or toward a degree program more than sixty-six (66) semester credit hours of lower division academic credit.

Students may obtain copies of their official transcript by following the steps located on the college website. Official transcripts will not be released to students with academic or financial holds until such holds are cleared. Academic Achievement Grading and Credit (EGA Local) Grayson College shall have appropriate standards for evaluating student performance and for determining grades and graduation requirements. GC uses the following grading system: A \u2014 The student demonstrates mastery of course content and meets course objectives.  The grade of A is an exceptional grade attained by students demonstrating exceptional performance of college-level work. B \u2014 The student demonstrates mastery of course content and meets selected objectives.  The grade of B is an above-average grade attained by students demonstrating above-average performance of college-level work. C \u2014 The student demonstrates acceptable competency in coursework and meets selected course objectives.  The grade of C is an average grade attained by students demonstrating average performance of college-level work.  Students with concurrent enrollment for high school and college credit must maintain a minimal grade of C in the course. D \u2014 The student demonstrates minimal performance in coursework and does not meet course objectives.  The grade of D is considered unsatisfactory in a student\u2019s major field of study, and this grade generally does not transfer. F \u2014 Failure. No credit is given for the grade of F. I \u2014 Incomplete. The grade of I indicates that the student has a valid excuse for failure to complete the work required during the semester. Incomplete work should be completed within the regular term. Failure to remove an I during the succeeding regular term may result in an F being placed on the permanent record. W \u2014 Withdrew. Dropped before the automatic withdrawal date. P \u2014 Passing. S \u2014 Satisfactory. Used for nondegree courses. U \u2014 Unsatisfactory. Used for nondegree courses. AU \u2014 Noncredit. Used for audited courses. Value of Grade Points In determining grade point averages (GPAs), all hours where grade points are given shall be considered in computing GPAs. Grade points are granted on college courses on the basis of the value in semester hours of the course and the grade made in the course as follows: A = 4 grade points per semester hour B = 3 grade points per semester hour C = 2 grade points per semester hour D = 1 grade point per semester hour E = 0 grade points per semester hour Grade Point Determination The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted. Grades of I, W, P, S, U, NC, and F in pass/fail courses are excluded from GPA calculation. Grades earned in developmental courses are also excluded from GPA calculation. Instructional Services Grayson College accepts appropriate coursework from accredited institutions outside the United States, provided that the student successfully completed the courses. Scholastic Standards Good Standing: A student will be considered in good academic standing with a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher. Academic Warning: A student will be placed on academic warning when the cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 for one long semester. Academic Probation: When a student\u2019s cumulative GPA remains below a 2.0 for more than one long semester, the student will be placed on academic probation. Students on probation will be required to meet with their Success Coach to establish an individualized success plan. Students on academic probation are not eligible to hold office in student clubs/organizations.

Dual Associate Degrees Dual associate degrees allow students to combine two different degree programs.  Students completing a dual degree program are awarded two distinct degrees.  You may not earn two degrees at the same level (e.g. associate degree level) using the same credit. If two associate degrees are granted, the primary major is considered the first degree with a minimum of 60 credits (some majors require more credits). The second or any subsequent degree requires (15 to 18) additional credits, which must be uniquely applicable to the second associate degree curriculum. Before enrolling in coursework toward a second associate degree, you must request an official evaluation. Consult with your Success Coach for more information on earning a second associate degree.
