CALENDAR SYSTEM
Since Fall of 1985, Skidmore College has provided instruction on a semester calendar,
which consists of fall and spring semesters and two summer sessions. Credit hours
for each class are indicated on the transcript proper. Prior to Fall 1985, instruction
was provided on a 4-1-4 calendar with no grade points given for plus and minus. In
instances where a student's transcript includes both calendar types, credit hours
earned prior to Fall 1985 have been converted to 3.33 credits for each unit of instruction. Effective
2013: January terms are listed for the sole purpose of transfer credit.
HONORS
-
Dean's List: Term Honors are computed for the fall and spring semesters as of the established date for submitting grades. Honors are awarded to each student who satisfactorily completes fourteen semester hours and earns the appropriate grade point average. Effective Fall 2011: Term Honors--3.650 or higher; Fall 1998-Spring 2011: Honors--3.400-3.669 and Highest Honors--3.670-4.000; Prior to Fall 1998: Honors--3.33 or higher.

REPEATED COURSES
If a course for which the student received a grade of "F" is repeated at the College,
both grades remain on the record and both are included in the cumulative GPA. With
the exception of designated programs, credit granted by Skidmore for work taken at
another institution or by examination is not included in the GPA.
SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY
The College criterion for Satisfactory is the equivalent of a "C" or better, not "C-".
S/U grades do not affect the grade point average, but a student receiving an Unsatisfactory
will not receive credit for the course.
