Such courses are not included in determining grade point average, and do not qualify for veteran’s benefits.
Repeated Courses: When a student repeats a course, the grade for each attempt remains on the student’s transcript. However, the most recent grade will be used in calculation of the student’s grade point average and the awarding of credit hours. Repeated courses must be taken at Lyon.
Any student may audit a course. Audited courses are billed separately, do not carry credit or count in a student’s course load, and will show a grade of “X” on a student’s transcript. Faculty are neither expected nor required to collect, evaluate, or grade work done by a student auditing their classes.
