- I have NOT earned 2 Fs in the courses listed on this GEP (continue filling it out).

- I understand that once a petition to exclude a grade has been accepted by Engineering Student Services, it may not be changed after the last day to add classes.
- I understand that a W grade in a course for which an exclusion has been approved will not result in the original grade being excluded, but will count toward the three courses or 12 credit hour exclusion limit.
- I understand that students may invoke the policy multiple times for the same course but NOT in the same semester. The grade exclusion request replaces only ONE prior attempt.
- I understand that once a grade exclusion is applied to a course, the quality points and credit hours attempted and earned will only be removed from the calculation of the LSU and cumulative GPAs. GPAs from prior semesters will not be recalculated.
- I understand that grade exclusions do not retroactively change the status of a student’s semester academic honors (e.g., Dean’s List) or result in a refund of tuition or fees.
- I understand that grade exclusions do not result in the recalculation of a student’s academic standing (e.g., scholastic warning, probation or drop) at the end of a previous semester or term.
- I understand that the exclusion adjusted GPA will not be used in determining both Latin Honors and University Medalists. All grades will be used to determine Latin Honors and University Medalists.
- I understand that the excluded grade will be annotated on the transcript with the symbol “E” to denote that the grade was excluded.
- I understand that upon communication to the University Registrar by the Dean of Students or designee, the policy may not be used to exclude a grade assigned as a result of academic dishonesty.
- I understand that once a student has earned a degree, the grade exclusion policy cannot be invoked with respect to any course attempted prior to earning the degree.
- I understand that many graduate and professional schools include all course attempts when considering an applicant’s GPA for admission to such programs.
