What is the effect on SAP when grade forgiveness is granted?

• A. Excluded from SAP calculation
• B. Never excluded from SAP calculation
• C. Excluded from qualitative portion
• D. Only affects quantitative portion

Answer: (B)

Grade forgiveness is about how a course grade appears on the academic record, but SAP looks at the actual credits attempted and how those credits were earned, using the school's established rules for SAP calculation. Even if a grade forgiveness policy improves the GPA on the transcript, the credits and outcomes of the forgiven course still count in the SAP evaluation. So forgiven grades aren’t removed from SAP calculations; they remain part of the data used to determine meeting SAP standards. That’s why this option is considered correct.
