<p class="MsoNormal">Our policy is 2.0 to get in and out, except for the BAS in Dental Hygiene which is higher and has competitive admissions. The C- is always a problem as it is often a 1.7.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For us, I believe Admissions converts all transcripts to decimal, so the student will potentially be short on an Admission requirement and cannot use that course for graduation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello BLC colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question regarding admissions requirement. What is your GPA requirement for your BAS degree programs? Do you require a certain GPA for individual courses that are different from the graduation requirement for your AA degrees?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, here is a scenario. We require 2.0 GPA in each and every GenEd course for a student to be admitted into the BAS degree programs. However, that is not a graduation requirement for every AAT degree. So we had student who obtained their
AAT degree with a C- in Sociology. Her overall GPA was high enough to be accepted into the BAS degree that she applied for, but she was told that she had to repeat the Sociology class because she did not obtain a 2.0 in that specific course. Of course, financial
aid wouldn’t pay for the class. We are currently debating about this policy. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am curious if something like this ever came up at your college, and if so how you have handled it. I am also wondering if there are any SBCTC policies about this. I can’t seem to find any.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your input!<o:p></o:p></p>
