This module includes four topics: Topic 1: Grade Policies Topic 2: Resolving Missing or Incorrect Grades Topic 3: Viewing Your Grades (Step-by-step) Topic 4: Summary 2 Module 5: Grades Topic 1: Grade Policies Army Requirements (continued) Incomplete Grades Incomplete “I” grades must be resolved with a passing grade within 120 days of the class end date or automatic recoupment will occur. • Your school may have a policy that allows fewer than 120 days to resolve an “I” grade. Be sure to check with your instructor. • If your school submits an “I” grade, your GoArmyEd account will be placed on hold until your school changes the grade to a passing grade. 3 Module 5: Grades Topic 1: Grade Policies Army Requirements (continued) Maintaining Your Undergraduate Army TA Grade Point Average (GPA) If you have completed 15 or more SH of TA-funded undergraduate classes, you must maintain a 2.0 Undergraduate Army TA GPA to receive additional TA. • The Undergraduate Army TA GPA will be calculated from your TA-funded classes taken through GoArmyEd, EDMIS, iMARC and WEBS. • When you fall below a 2.0 Army TA GPA, you are not eligible for additional TA until you raise your Army TA GPA to a 2.0 through self-funded classes. • You will need to register for classes through GoArmyEd, but pay the school directly for the tuition. Your final grade for those self-funded classes will be included in your Undergraduate Army TA GPA calculation until it has been raised to a 2.0 again, and the hold will be automatically lifted. • The Army TA GPA can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet. 4 Module 5: Grades Topic 1: Grade Policies Army Requirements (continued) Maintaining Your Graduate Army TA GPA If you have completed six or more SH of TA-funded graduate classes, you must maintain a 3.0 Graduate Army TA GPA to receive additional TA. • The Graduate Army TA GPA will be calculated from all classes requested through GoArmyEd, EDMIS, iMARC and WEBS. • When you fall below a 3.0 Army TA GPA, you are not eligible for additional TA until you raise your Army TA Graduate GPA to a 3.0 through self-funded classes. • You will need to register for classes through GoArmyEd, but pay the school directly for the tuition.
