The grade exclusion policy is subject to the following conditions:

1. Students seeking grade exclusion must receive counseling from the following as appropriate:
   
   • Academic Advisor to determine effect on completion of degree requirements and probation requirements.
   
   
   • Financial Aid Office if receiving a scholarship or financial aid administered by that office.
   
   
   • Athletic Department if a student athlete.
   
   
   • International Office if an international student.
   
   
   
   
2. The course grade will be removed from the academic GPA calculation; although the grade received will remain on the student's transcript.



3. Excluded grades will be included in the calculation of GPA for determining graduation with Latin Honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude).



4. This policy will apply to a maximum of three courses at UT Arlington and will not apply to courses that may be repeated for credit or to courses taken on a pass/fail basis. Of the three courses, only one course can be 3000/4000 level.



5. This policy is not applicable to graduate students.



6. Individual colleges and schools may limit this policy.



7. Students may not apply this policy to grades of D or F which result from disciplinary action.



8. Students dismissed from the University for academic reasons cannot use a grade exclusion until their dismissal period is completed. If a grade exclusion request is submitted subsequent to the student's change of academic standing to dismissal, the grade exclusion will be held for processing until the student is eligible to return.



9. Students must be enrolled on the Census Date of the semester in which their grade exclusion request is processed.



10. Students who have graduated cannot use Grade Exclusion retroactively to elevate GPA.



11. Excluded hours will count toward the 30 hr/45 hr policy for Tuition for Excessive Undergraduate Hours. Click here for more information on Tuition for Excessive Undergraduate Hours



12. Tuition and fee refunds, rebates or other financial consideration will not be given for courses for which grade exclusion is granted.



13. Once a course has been excluded, a student may not later have the exclusion reversed.

You must be enrolled at UT Arlington on Census Day of the semester that your grade exclusion, if approved, is processed.

If you began your college career at UT Arlington before Fall 2006 and you are approved for grade exclusion, you will be advanced to the 2006-2007 catalog year for policy purposes (although not necessarily for degree program requirements). This means that you must adhere to all the policies of the 2006-2007 undergraduate catalog. Please check with your academic advisor if you have any questions regarding your degree plan requirements and/or the catalog under which you are governed.
