The second grade always replaces the first grade. However, you can retake a class and get a worse grade. For example, if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and will have to take the class for a third time.
The total number of grade points (honor points) is the product of the credits and the honor point value of the grade received in the course. NMU does not generate grade reports....Grading System.GradeSignificanceHonor Points Per CreditDPoor1.00D-Poor but Passing0.70FFailure0.00AUAudit0.0017 more rows

If a student fails to meet the Maximum Timeframe standards, they will be placed on Maximum Timeframe Suspension and will immediately lose financial aid eligibility.
Credit hours obtained in a completed degree (i.e. a certificate, associates, bachelors, masters, etc.) will affect a student’s maximum timeframe. Students who change majors will also have the attempted credit hours from the previous major count against the maximum time frame.
Students who have their financial aid revoked due to the failure to meet the SAP standards will remain ineligible until such time that they are able to meet the financial aid SAP standards. Those students will be responsible for payment of their own tuition and fees.

Academic suspensions usually last for one year. Students with extenuating circumstances that caused them to be suspended can appeal to the Admission and Academic Policy Committee (AAPC) for the right to return early. Unless these circumstances are clearly beyond the student’s control, the student’s situation has completely changed, or the student has spent successful time at community college, appeals are rarely granted. After a first suspension, a student is able to return after one year by filling out a re-entry update form and then meeting with the academic proficiency officer.
