Denial of Credit for Courses

Certain courses listed in the General Catalog have enrollment credit restrictions. Full or partial credit, whichever is determined to be appropriate, will be denied to those students enrolled in the course who are not in compliance with the stated conditions.

Student records are not normally evaluated to determine whether credit will be denied until final degree checks have been requested; therefore, students may find themselves short of the required units at the time of graduation. Read course descriptions carefully in the General Catalog and be certain that you are in compliance with restrictions and conditions.
