Technically, a 'D' is passing, but it's a sort of a we-don't-really-mean-it pass. A grudging pass, or perhaps a mercy pass. Or, it can be an “I don't ordinarily fail students, but you're testing my faith” pass. D's make some level of sense if you believe that a 'C' is an average grade.
A 2.0 overall grade point average is required to meet graduation requirements (see specific degree requirements for AA/AS degree and AAS degree).
The letter grade D is considered passing since it lies between 60-69%. Any grade that is above 60% is considered passing in college.
passing gradesThe grades of A, B, C, D and P are passing grades. Grades of F and U are failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are final grades carrying no credit.
A letter grade of a D is technically considered passing because it not a failure. A D is any percentage between 60-69%, whereas a failure occurs below 60%.
Pass/fail classes operate on a binary grading system, meaning that no letter grade will be recorded on your college transcript. Instead, you will simply earn credit depending on whether you did satisfactory work in the class.
F - this is a failing grade.
A "W" or "Withdrawal" grade will be awarded on transcript for the courses from which the student withdraws. The "W" grade will not affect student's GPA. The "W" may trigger financial aid repercussions for unsatisfactory academic progress and make the student ineligible for financial aid in the following semester.
Academic reprieve is a provision allowing students who have experienced extraordinary circumstances to disregard up to two semesters in the calculation of the retention/graduation GPA.
The course work is preparatory and not college-level. Similarly, the grades in a remedial course don't usually affect the student's grade-point average, other than for financial aid assessment. College classes do contribute toward the student's degree, and the grades you receive in those classes do count on your GPA.
