• All credit hours applicable to the current degree pursuit attempted through National Student Exchange Program (NSE), Study Abroad, and through Consortium Agreements with other institutions are counted in both attempted and earned hour calculations.
• Remedial classes are counted in both attempted and earned hours’ calculations, although credits may not apply toward completion of degree requirements. They may also impact GPA calculations.
• A student who changes his/her major is still responsible for completing his/her degree or certification at a pace of progress within the maximum time frame.
