Grading Policies and Grade Appeals Process 
College policies regarding grading, incompletes, grade changes, and grade appeals process can be found in the CPCC Catalog. Look in the College Policies and Procedures: Grading Policy section. Faculty and staff may access the catalog online at CPCC Catalog or contact their department for a copy or purchase a copy from any campus cashiering office for $2.00.

Student Grade Appeals is covered in Policy and Procedure 7.09 SectionV - Student Grievance Procedures. Download a copy of the Student Grade Appeals Form.

CPCC Grading System
The College has three different grading systems Curriculum grade codes, Basic Skills grade codes and Continuing Education grade codes.
Contact your department for information regarding the correct grading codes.

Incompletes
An “I” (Incomplete) may be assigned when a student has persisted through the course and has completed at least 90% of the requirements for passing the course or when the instructor has determined extenuating circumstances exist. A student must resolve an “I” (Incomplete) grade within 6 months from the end of the term in which the grade was assigned, unless the time period is otherwise specified by the division. When an “I” grade has been resolved, the final grade will be recorded beside the “I”

(e.g., I/B) and the GPA will be re-computed. An "I" which is unresolved will be changed to the grade of I/F after 6 months.

Excessive Is, Fs, and Ws
A student will not be allowed to register for a course in which the student has received three Is, Fs, and/or Ws until receiving permission from the division that offers the course.  Permission, if given, is entered electronically by an appropriate person at the division level.

Grade Point Average
The following grades only will be used in computing the grade point average:

Three GPAs will appear on the student's academic record:

• cumulative GPA,
• term GPA, and
• cumulative program GPA.

Repeated courses will appear on the student's transcript. Each attempt will be shown, but the student's cumulative GPA and cumulative program GPA will be re-computed to count the last completed attempt only.

Looking Ahead to Final Grades
The semester term (16 weeks) includes a final examination week. For full-term regularly scheduled classes, a final examination schedule is included in the Class Listing Schedule, the current CPCC Catalog and the Academic Calendar. It is expected that most faculty will choose to give final examinations but instructors are not required to give a final examination. Click here to Post Final Grades on WebEmployee.
