Course Failure is an academic policy governing failing grades: how they are recorded, how they count toward the grade point average, and how a repeated course is treated.
What the catalog says
The catalog states: “A grade of F (Failure) or NC (No Credit) is counted as hours attempted but not achieved and has a 0.00 value toward the grade point average (GPA).”
The catalog states: “A student earning an F or NC grade must repeat a non-prerequisite module and/or work satisfactorily in order to graduate.”
The catalog states: “Students are charged for courses they fail and repeat at the current cost per credit.”
Where it applies
InterCoast Colleges’ catalog states this under “COURSE FAILURE” (p. 30).
The catalog states: “Trades students (ETP, HVAC, Plumbing) are required to attend lab each week. Students who miss two or more lab sessions in a course (15 or more lab hours) do not meet the course completion requirements and will receive a failing grade for that course.”
