Academic Standards and Procedures
Requirements for Graduation
Each student is expected to be familiar with the academic regulations of the College and the particular requirements for his or her educational program. The student has sole responsibility for complying with regulations and meeting degree requirements. General academic standards and regulations are set forth below.
Students should also consult the current Student Handbook, which explains College procedures, disciplinary regulations, residence student life and related matters. This handbook is available in the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of the Director of Residence Life.
To be eligible for graduation a student must have satisfactorily completed all the courses required in the program for which he/she is registered. In following his/her program a student must successfully complete all prerequisite courses before moving to more advanced work. He/She must obtain a minimum average of C (i.e., a cumulative scholarship index of 2.00, computed according to the method set forth in the College Catalogue). Students are personally responsible for meeting the degree requirements prescribed in the Catalogue at the time they entered Manhattan College.
Grading Policies
The grades used to indicate the quality of the student’s performance in every course are as follows: A means excellent, B means good, C means satisfactory, D means poor but passing. F means failing. For the purpose of computing grade point averages, the corresponding numerical equivalents for letter grades will be used:
| Grade | Quality Points |
| A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.67 |
| B+ | 3.33 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.67 |
| C+ | 2.33 |
| C | 2.0 |
| C- | 1.67 |
| D+ | 1.33 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
I Incomplete. Indicates that some requirement of a course has not been satisfied by the end of the term. In all cases the incomplete work must be completed and submitted to the instructor not later than 20 days from the last day of the term’s final examination period.
W Withdrawal. Indicates withdrawal from a course in which the student is regularly enrolled. The student is required to have the withdrawal notification form signed by the instructor of the course. The dead- line for withdrawal from a course will be three weeks before the last day of scheduled classes. In “W” courses, neither quality hours or quality points are assigned.
P Passing. No quality points assigned.
NC No Credit.
P/F Pass/Fail. In Pass/Fail courses, neither grade influences the grade point average. Credit is awarded for a P grade; no credit for F.
Final grades are given at the end of each semester and at the conclusion of work in the Summer Session and January Intersession; these grades become part of the official permanent record of each student in the Registrar’s Office. Mid-semester grades are assigned to all undergraduate students to indicate their standing in courses up to that time and to assist the faculty in affording students necessary guidance; mid-semester grades are not entered on the Registrar’s permanent official records.
Final Grade Reports are sent to the students as soon as possible after the grades have been reported to the Registrar’s Office.
Quality points and quality hours are assigned for every credit attempted at Manhattan except those taken on a Pass/Fail basis, and those for which designations of a W or an I have been assigned. The scholarship index is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of quality hours.
For all students, the cumulative scholarship index is computed at the end of each semester; for those who attend the summer or winter sessions it is also computed at the end of each session.
Repeating a Course
(Effective Fall 2003)
All grades that a student earns at Manhattan will appear on the student’s transcript. If a student repeats a course in which the required minimum grade has not been earned, both grades are shown on the transcript and are included in both the semester and cumulative indices. However, if a student chooses to repeat a course in which the required minimum grade or better has already been earned, the second grade is not included in the cumulative index. In this case, the second grade is shown on the transcript and is included in the semester index for the semester in which the course was repeated. In either case, the course is credited only once toward the total credits earned. If a student earns a second “F” in any course, the “F” is included in the semester and cumulative index both times.
When a student repeats a course, the original quality points and quality hours earned in the term in which the original grade was earned are not affected. All course repeats must be done at Manhattan College. Students should note that eligibility for certain financial aid may be impacted when repeating courses.
Grade Reports
Final grades are given at the end of each semester and at the conclusion of work in the Summer Sessions and the January Intersession. Every eligible student is issued a grade report that lists the courses taken during that semester or session, the grade earned in each course, and the grade point average for the semester or session, and the cumulative grade point average. Mid-semester grade reports are also issued to all undergraduate students to indicate their standing in courses up to that time and to assist the faculty in affording students necessary guidance. These mid-semester grades are not affixed to the permanent academic record.
Contested Grades
If a student believes that his/her final grade in a course is not consistent with the grading criteria designated by the course instructor, he or she should first discuss the matter with the course instructor. If the student and the instructor cannot resolve the matter in this discussion, the student may discuss the matter with the department chair. Copies of all graded tests, quizzes, and other assignments will be needed.
In the event that the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the discussions with the course instructor and the chair, he or she may make a written request to the chair for a formal consideration of the problem. This request must be submitted within three weeks after the beginning of the semester immediately following the regular Fall or Spring semester. Included in the request will be an outline of the student’s specific complaints. The chair shall make a detailed investigation and shall notify the student and course instructor of his or her findings. The student may appeal the findings of the chair to the Dean of the school in which the course was offered. The Dean of the school will respond to the student in writing and will preserve the documentation of the process. When the department chair is the course instructor, the student may appeal to the Dean of the school in which the course was taught who will investigate the matter and notify the student and the department chair of his or her findings.
Students should be aware that only the course instructor may change a grade.
Grade Changes
All course grades (except “I” grades) are intended to be final and permanent. It is expected that course instructors will determine and report final grades as accurately and precisely as the nature of the evaluation of student achievement and the grading system will permit. It is considered the instructor’s direct and personal responsibility to insure that grades are fair and reported correctly.
Notwithstanding all precautions, faculty members can make errors. When this occurs, the errors should be corrected so that students are not unfairly penalized. If a course instructor decides to request a grade correction, the appropriate forms must be completed and sent to the Dean of the school in which the course was taught. A copy of the change of grade form will be sent to the Dean of the school where the student is registered. Except in the case of contested grades, all requests for correcting grades must be submitted by last day of the fourth week of the semester of the following Fall or Spring semester. Only the course instructor can submit a grade change request. The Dean of the school where the course is taught may disapprove of the request, indicating in writing the reason why.
Incomplete Grades
An “I” grade indicates that some requirement of a course has not been satisfied by the end of the term. In all cases the incomplete work must be completed and submitted to the instructor not later than 20 days from the last day of the term’s final examination period. The faculty member must submit the final grade not later than 25 days from the last day of the term’s final examination period. An incomplete will be converted to a grade of F if the work is not completed on schedule and if the final grade is not submitted on schedule. Extensions for the completion of the work or the submission of the final grade will be granted by the Dean of the school only in highly unusual circumstances.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
All students at Manhattan College are expected to make positive academic progress toward a degree. Students are said to be making satisfactory academic progress when their cumulative grade point average and credit hours fall within the classification system below:
Attempted Credits Cumulative
and Transfer Grade Point
Credits Average
1-30 1.8
31-59 1.9
60 and above 2.0
Change of Program
Students wishing to change their degree program to another program at Manhattan should seek the advice of the Dean or Academic Advisor of the program they wish to enter. The Dean or Academic Advisor will examine the student’s academic record to determine if the desired change in degree program is advisable. Students wishing to change their program should do so before the end of their third semester at Manhattan. Students should take note that no part of their academic record will be altered when they change their degree program. All courses and grades remain on the academic record and constitute the student’s academic history.
Academic Warning
Students will be considered to be officially on warning when a statement to that effect has been issued from the Dean’s office noting that there is some indication that the student is experiencing difficulty in maintaining the academic standards necessary for graduation. Such warning will usually include an offer of academic counseling.
Academic Probation
The regulations of Manhattan College provide that students are subject to be placed on academic probation when their cumulative grade index falls below the norm for satisfactory academic progress (see above). Students may remove themselves from academic probation by achieving the cumulative grade index consistent with the norms for satisfactory academic progress by the end of the following regular semester. Students on academic probation may be required to take a reduced course load and be restricted from participating in College activities.
Academic Suspension
Students are subject to suspension from the College when dismissal is indicated and a judgment is made that a student’s studies at Manhattan should be interrupted for a designated period of time, usually six months or one year, before reinstatement would be considered. Suspended students must present evidence of their ability to continue their studies successfully when applying for such reinstatement.
Academic Dismissal
Dismissal is a permanent separation from the College (not just a school of the College), ordinarily imposed when there is indication of poor probability of academic success. Students may be dismissed from the College if they fail to meet the satisfactory academic progress standards within one semester of being placed on probation or fail to observe the restrictions imposed during probation. Students may also be dismissed from the College when they receive failing grades in all credits attempted in any one semester.
Course Requirements
At the beginning of each semester or session, each instructor is expected in each course to state the objectives of the course, indicate the course requirements, and the criteria to be used in evaluating the performance of students. Each instructor is also expected to announce whether a final examination for the course will be given, and likewise will outline the course requirements and indicate the criteria to be used in evaluating the performance of students.
Credit Hour
Usually, in any semester fourteen lecture periods of fifty-five minutes each or fourteen laboratory periods of two clock hours each normally constitute one credit hour. Any variations from this ruling are indicated in the catalogue description of a course. Examinations, quizzes, scheduled field trips and similar course activities are included within the required periods.
Credit for Off-Campus Courses
The College will normally not accept credit for off-campus courses to fulfill core or major requirements, or for prerequisite or sequential course requirements. Ordinarily, students who have achieved junior or senior status will not be permitted to take courses at two-year junior or community colleges. Credit for courses taken at other institutions by matriculated students of Manhattan College will be recognized under the following conditions: (1) written permission to take such courses is obtained in advance from the Dean of the student’s School, (2) the required form and transcript are filed with the Registrar and the required fee is paid to the Bursar, (3) the grade received at the other institution is equivalent to or higher than the Manhattan College grade of C. Grades earned at other institutions will not be transferred to the student’s record at Manhattan College.
Attendance Policy
Students are required to fulfill all course requirements as detailed in the course syllabus for their registered courses. They will be held accountable for the entire course content including completing all course assignments and attending classes.
All absences from any class period or activity including a laboratory session are considered unexcused absences unless the student completes and submits a Request for Excused Absence Form that is ultimately approved.
After four unexcused absences, the dean of the school in which the student is matriculated shall be notified and the student shall attend an interview to discuss his or her excessive absences. As a result, the student may be referred for counseling, be advised to withdraw from the course, and/or receive a letter or warning if the student’s scholastic record is jeopardized.
Students cannot expect that any makeup tests, quizzes or laboratories will be provided and may incur an appropriate grade penalty for such absences, excused or unexcused. Reasonable accommodations for excused absences are encouraged but are solely at the discretion of the faculty member.
Withdrawal from a Course
Students who wish to withdraw from a course, with no academic penalty, must complete a withdrawal form, securing the signatures of the instructor and of the academic advisor or Dean of the school in which the student is enrolled. Additionally, if an athlete is attempting withdraw from a course, the signature of the academic advisor for athletes is required. This form must be submitted to the Registrar no later than three weeks before the last day of scheduled classes. When this procedure is followed, a “W” is entered on the student’s transcript, indicating that the student has withdrawn without academic penalty. It is not sufficient for the student to simply inform the instructor that he or she is withdrawing from the course. Students who do not follow the above procedure maintain course registration and may have a grade of “F” assigned for the course.
Students are warned that an excessive number of withdrawals may impact their eligibility for some forms of financial aid. In addition, students who withdraw from courses may be assigned overcredit charges in future semesters or will be required to take courses during the summer or January intersession. Students will not receive any tuition refund when they withdraw from a course.
Withdrawal from the College
Students wishing to withdraw from the college must notify in writing the Registrar’s office and the office of the Dean of their school, giving the effective date of withdrawal, and, where necessary, the last date of attendance. Failure to follow this procedure may result in the assignment of the grade of “F” in courses as well as all charges for tuition. For refund schedule, see the “Tuition and Fees” section of this catalog.
Transcripts
Transcripts must be ordered by letter or in person from the Office of the Registrar. To insure prompt delivery of the transcript, requests should be made at least two weeks before the transcript is desired. The established fee for each transcript is five dollars. No transcript will be issued for students whose accounts are in arrears.
Honors Enrichment Program
The Honors Enrichment Program is open to select students who meet published requirements. It is a co-curricular program designed to allow our honors students a broader range of experience consonant with their abilities and interests. The program offers opportunities to meet and grow intellectually with students from all five Schools in a wide variety of Honors Symposia offered each year. It also encourages students to explore the cultural riches of New York City and to take advantage of the many other lectures and presentations offered on campus each semester. Each year’s events are organized around a specific theme.
