P Grade Policy: Students who pass a STC approved TSI placement

test during the term may receive a grade of "P" for that course.

A grade of "P" will count as a successful completion of the course, but it will not be included in calculating the current semester GPA.

In order to be awarded a grade of "P," students must provide the instructor with official test scores demonstrating that they have met the passing standard.

Students also have the option of completing the course and receiving a letter grade, which will be included in calculating the current semester GPA.

Students are encouraged to continue attending the class and complete the course in order to be better prepared for college-level courses.
