Extenuating Circumstances Withdrawal:

Extenuating Circumstances that significantly impact the student during semester, but do not meet criteria for Medical/Psychological Withdrawal.

Repeat Forgiveness:
Contact: Academic Advisor |
Students are eligible for “repeat forgiveness” for up to 13 undergraduate credits. For credits granted under this option, Coastal Carolina University will exclude the grade and credit hours earned for the prior enrollment in the course when calculating the student’s cumulative GPA and earned credit hours. Both grades will appear on the transcript. Only course grades of C, D, D+, F, or WF are eligible for “repeat forgiveness.” "Repeat Forgiveness" is not available for courses in which the student received a CX, D+X, DX, or FX grade. Special topic courses taken under different titles are not eligible for “Repeat Forgiveness”. |
|
Incomplete:
Contact: Professor |
Students may request grades of Incomplete from faculty. Incompletes allow students to finish the remaining work in a course at a later date due to an extenuating circumstance. Grades of Incomplete are granted at the discretion of faculty, and typically work best when the student is good academic standing in the course and few assignments remain.
