Academic Honors List
An honor bestowed upon students who demonstrate exemplary performance. To be eligible, a student must complete 12 or more credits in that semester with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.
Auditing a Course
A student wishing exposure to a course may elect to audit. Regular attendance at all class meetings is the responsibility of the student, but writing assignments and examinations are not mandatory. A grade of “AU” will be awarded for satisfactory attendance. Courses audited carry no credit toward the grade point average, toward graduation, or toward meeting professional requirements. Audit units do not count toward determining the eligibility for financial aid purposes. Audits may be repeated for credit. Once a student registers for and completes a class as an auditor, the audit on the permanent record may not be changed to a credit-earning grade. Students enrolling for credit will have priority over auditors until the first class day of the course, at which time auditors may enroll on a space available basis. An additional fee is assessed to audited courses. Go to www. yc.edu/tuition for current fee.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat any course offered by Yavapai College in order to improve a grade, or gain additional knowledge, experience, or other benefit, limited only by the following conditions:
• The credit earned in repeated courses will only be counted one time for completion of degree/certificate requirements unless otherwise noted in the course description
• A student may enroll in concurrent sections of a course only if the course is numbered 000-099
• Repeated courses may not be eligible for federal Financial Aid funding or veteran education benefits
• An individual student’s repeat enrollments in specific courses may be restricted if it is determined to be in the best interest of the student or College
All grades appear on the permanent transcript. Included in the cumulative grade point average is the highest single grade earned in a course and all applicable grades earned in repeatable courses.
Incomplete Grades
A grade of “I” may be requested by a student and will be posted to the student’s permanent record only at the end of a semester in which the student has done the following:
1. Has completed a significant majority of the work required for the course while maintain- ing a "C" average for work submitted and is capable of completing the remainder of the required work for this course
2. Experienced extenuating circumstances which prevent completion of the course require- ments
It is the exclusive responsibility of each student receiving an Incomplete to be in communication with the instructor and complete the course(s) by the deadline established by the instructor; the maximum of which can be 45 days. The instructor will then initiate a Change of Grade form. If the instructor is no longer available, the student should contact the supervising instructional division dean. If the work required is not completed by the deadline established by the instructor, the grade specified by the instructor will be posted to the permanent record.
