In order to receive credit in a course a student must complete the assigned work of the semester and must complete the final examination. Final examinations will be given by the instructor according to the published schedule with the following exceptions: physical education activity, applied music, choir, wind ensemble, vocal ensemble and laboratory classes (laboratory finals may be given at the discretion of the instructor). Occasionally, a unique and exceptional circumstance may dictate that a final examination be administered to an individual student at other than the scheduled time.
Unofficial status grades are given at mid-term during long-term (fall/spring) semesters. At the end of each semester, the student receives by mail a letter grade as an official evaluation for each course taken. However, the final grade report may not be released if the student has not met all financial obligations to the college or has not completed all admission requirements.
Student grades are also sent to the parent/guardian if the parent/guardian completes the Parent Affidavit For Academic Information or if the student has completed the Student Consent For Release of Records.
Both forms are available in the office of the Academic Dean.

Any student receiving an "I" in a course may fulfill the course requirements and receive a proper grade within 45 calendar days after the end of the term in which the "I" is given. After the 45-day period, the "I" automatically becomes an "F." The student is responsible for making arrangements with the instructor to fulfill the course requirements.
The grade-point average for a semester is calculated by first multiplying the course semester hours by the grade points per semester hour based on the course grade. These values are summed for all classes for the semester and the total value divided by the total semester hours attempted. Note that courses with grades of "W", "WP", "I", and "CR" are not included in the calculation.
A cumulative grade-point average includes all courses taken at Jacksonville College and other collegiate work as shown on the Jacksonville College academic transcript
If the same course has been repeated, it is counted only one time, using the higher grade, for grade-point average calculation and for total hours completed.
