Grade Below a C

Summary

I received a grade below a C, does that disqualify me from the SD Opportunity Scholarship?

Body

The requirement states that students must “receive a “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher on all required coursework – can I retake a course?

Yes, students can retake a course to earn a higher grade. Below are two examples showing different paths to meet SDOS eligibility. 

 

Both examples meet the math curriculum requirements because the student has four units of Math above a C. 

Example 1

(student takes an extra math course)

Example 2

(student retakes a course)

  • Math A – 1 Unit – grade: B

  • Math B – 1 Unit – grade: C-

  • Math C – 1 Unit – grade: A

  • Math D – 1 Unit – grade C

  • Math E – 1 Unit – grade B+

  • Math A – 1 Unit – grade: B

  • Math B – 1 Unit – grade: C-

  • Math B – 1 Unit – grade: A

  • Math C – 1 Unit – grade C

  • Math D – 1 Unit – grade B+
