   2. When a student has received a “C” or better on more than one introductory course but has not received a “D” or “F” in an introductory course, the student may replace only one of the introductory course grades with the grade of the next level course to raise their G.P.A. (ex. ENG 1121 for ENG 1101; BIO 2312 for BIO 2311; PSY 2301 for PSY 1101; or MAT 1375 or higher or MAT 1272 for MAT 1275).
2. When an introductory course grade is a “D” or an “F”, the student must repeat the course and the grade on the second attempt will be counted for the introductory sequence.

A/4.0	4.3	4.5	4.7
A-/3.7	4.0	4.2	4.4
B+/3.3	3.6	3.8	4.0

Therefore the nursing department will use the next level class as the only substitution in the pre- requisite sequence for program admission. For example, EG1101 is a CR and EG 1121 is a B. The EG1121 will be used to calculate the admission GPA and the one and only course substitution permitted.
