Have the appropriate faculty within the academic unit determine if there is presently a comparable course available for the student to take at SUNY Poly.

• If such a course is available, the student may take the new course as a substitution and have the new grade computed in his/her GPA.
• The old course grade will remain on the student’s transcript and the “F” grades will be excluded from the GPA calculation.

If there is no comparable course available for the student to take at SUNY Poly.
