COA Grade Adjustment
Policy (GAP) & Worksheet
All regularly admitted undergraduate students, who were enrolled during Fall 2000, or after, may delete a maximum of three (3) course grades of D or F (including FA or U) associated with their undergraduate degree from the calculation of their grade point average.
What you need to know about GAP
- GAP does not apply to the professional students in pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
- All core courses and those courses offered for a major must be met for graduation. If deleted through GAP, these required courses must be repeated at Auburn University.
- All courses for which a grade has been assigned will remain on the transcript. However, the notation will appear that the work is not included in the GPA.
- Although this adjusted GPA may positively affect your enrollment status, decisions regarding admission to honor societies or graduate/professional schools are likely to be based on all grades in all courses attempted.
- Students interested in taking advantage of the Grade Adjustment Policy should complete the proper steps and GAP worksheet. When the change has been made, it cannot be changed back.
- The purpose of this policy is to maintain academic eligibility for the next semester. This applies to students who have been Academic Warning for at least one semester. This policy is not intended to improve your GPA for other purposes.
