Repeat Grade (R) for Developmental Courses
Del Mar College offers a number of courses to prepare students for college credit work. They are required, based on placement test scores, for you if you need additional preparation in specific subjects in degree programs. Developmental courses do not count toward graduation or calculate into your semester or cumulative grade point average.
In developmental courses the “R” grade is used to indicate that you have made some progress but are not ready for a more advanced course within the discipline. The grades of “D” and “F” are not used in developmental courses. The grade of “R” does not automatically convert to any other grade and is not used in computing grade point averages or academic status.
If you receive the grade of “R” in a developmental course, you must reregister for that course or complete course requirements and make a grade of “A,” “B,” or “C” in order to: 1) receive credit for that developmental course and 2) be eligible to register for a more advanced course in the discipline.
