Credit is not awarded for remedial courses but will be computed in the cumulative grade point average.

In order to be granted a bachelor's degree, the candidate must have satisfied the requirements of scholarship and character; and

1. Have completed with a passing grade a course of at least 124 semester hours of work with a 2.00 cumulative average (see grade point system below) on all work.
   
2. Not more than 30 hours shall have a grade lower than "C,'' and no grade lower than "C'' will be accepted in a teaching field, a major, minor, courses required for licensure or the required professional education courses.
