Grade Policies
• 7th Semester Transcripts: Students should only send
these if we request it. We send requests via e-mail.
• Index Scores for Impacted Major: Only grades 10 &
11 are used to create index scores for the impacted
Marine Transportation program. Senior grades can
pull you out of the admit group but not add you in.
• Courses Taken in Summer 2011 will not be used to
meet admission requirements for Fall 2011.
• We Check 100% of Final Transcripts to look for
falling index scores or inaccurate grades/courses on
the online application.
