EXIT CRITERIA FOR RISE TRANSITION COURSES A student taking required RISE transition courses, ENG 002 Transition English or MAT 003 Transition Math, must earn a grade of “P1,” “P2” or “P3” in order to progress to a gateway course with a corequisite or a gateway course without a corequisite. A grade of “R” requires the student to repeat the course. A grade of “P1” is given when a student has demonstrated mastery of Tier 1 of transition English or math. A grade of “P2” is given when a student has demonstrated mastery of Tier 2 of transition English or math. A grade of “P3” is given when a student has demonstrated mastery of Tier 3 of transition math. The “P” grades are not included in the computation of GPA. However, for financial aid purposes, a grade of “P1,” “P2” or “P3” means that a student has made satisfactory academic progress. A grade of “R” is given when a student has not demonstrated mastery of a tier and the student may have to re-enroll in the transition course. The “R” grade is considered a non-punitive grade and is not included in the computation of the academic GPA. However, for financial aid purposes, a grade of “R” means that a student has not made satisfactory academic progress. Financial aid will be affected by a grade of “R.” Students (other than VA students) may exit the transition course upon completing the tier required for their gateway course. ENG 002 Transition English is an NROC 10-unit mastery-based course installed in the institution’s Learning Management System. There are two exit points, Tier 1 and Tier 2. 2022-2023 Rockingham Community College 81
