      7. ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø will not use grades accepted as transfer credit in the calculation of the student’s ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø cumulative grade point average. These credits, however, will be included in the calculation of a student’s total attempted/earned credits.
      8. ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø reserves the right to evaluate the transferability of all automotive technology coursework.

      9. It is the responsibility of the student to notify ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø’s Transfer Articulation Office when exercising this agreement to ensure the credits are appropriately transferred.
