What is "First Year Grade Exclusion" and am I eligible?

A fully admitted, currently enrolled Texas A&M undergraduate student who is “first time in college” as defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (an undergraduate, degree seeking student who applied and enrolled in college for the first time regardless of whether the student has acquired college level credit through testing, advanced placement, or summer enrollment) may elect to exclude from his/her undergraduate degree and cumulative GPR calculation grades of D, F, or U. This exclusion shall be permitted for up to a maximum of three courses taken for credit at Texas A&M University during the 12-month period beginning with the student’s initial enrollment at Texas A&M. “Currently enrolled” is defined as a student who is registered for one or more semester credits and has made financial arrangements for required tuition and fees for the semester or term in progress. Current enrollment is certified after the state designated census day.

If you are eligible to exclude grades, print the Grade Exclusion Form, enter the required information, obtain the required signatures, and turn it in to the Records Section, Office of the Registrar, 3833 S. Texas Avenue, Suite 150, Room E, Bryan, Texas 77802, by the published official deadlines.
