Based on the results of the academic placement test, students may be required to take transitional studies courses. Students must successfully complete such courses in order to progress in the program. Transitional studies course credits do not count towards the total number of credits for graduation nor do they count in the CGPA; however, they do count in determining the maximum time frame and the incremental completion rate. Transitional studies courses may be individually attempted no more than three times. Failure to do so will result in termination.
