Transcripts (Students' Academic Records)
One academic transcript will be mailed to a prospective employer or academic institution without charge for currently enrolled students.

A transcript will not be issued if the student has any financial obligation to the College.

Mid-Term Grade Report
Students will receive from the Registrar's Office mid-term grade reports. “S” reflects a grade of “C” or better; “I” indicates the faculty member did not have sufficient evaluative information to submit a grade.

Change of Grade
Official grades can be changed only by the instructor who originally submitted the grade, upon review of the division dean, or by the vice president for academic affairs in those cases involving a grade appeal as outlined in 6.20 of the academic code (change of grade form).

Course Rebate Policy and Definition
Students who have changed majors, and who have a 2.00 or better semester average at the end of the first semester in the new major, may have “F” grades waived in courses required solely in the previous major. Students may appeal to the division dean or department chair for a waiver of “C-” and “D” grades in those courses which were required in the original major. This policy does not apply to general education courses with the exception of those students who transfer to an AOS degree program which does not require general education courses. The original grade will no longer be used in the calculation of the GPA but will remain on the transcript.

Course Repeat Policy
Students may repeat a course, in which they earned a “C-” or below, one time only unless special permission is granted by the vice president for academic affairs. An approved change of status form must be filed.

When a course is repeated, the last grade (A-F) will replace the previously earned grade(s) and count in the grade point average, even if the last grade is lower than the grade(s) earned on the previous attempt(s). In addition, the credit(s) from the first attempt will not be used in any calculations and will no longer count toward fulfillment of degree requirements. No repeated courses or their grades will be removed from the student's transcript.

While a student may repeat a course at another college, only a course taken at SUNY Cobleskill will be used in computing the SUNY Cobleskill GPA.

Students repeating a course in which they have received a grade of “D” or better should be aware that they may not be able to use that course as part of their calculation for full-time status for certification under the New York State TAP program. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office.
