2. The repeated grade is D or higher,
3. Only the repeated course grade will be used in the computation of
GPA,
4. The repeated course grade will not be applied in the calculation
of GPA for Honors for
Graduation,
5. The original course was taken at FGCU and the original grade was
received Fall 2000 or
subsequent terms, and
