3335-8-26 Point-hour ratio.
(A) The point-hour ratio of a student shall be computed by dividing the sum of the applicable number of credit hours (as defined in paragraph (B) of this rule) in which the marks "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "D+," "D," "E," or "EN" have been given into the sum of the credit points (see rule 3335-8-25 of the Administrative Code) assigned for such hours.

(1) For a quarter, semester, or session, the "applicable number of credit hours" shall be the student's scheduled credit hours in that quarter, semester, or session.
(2) For the student's work in the university, the "applicable number of credit hours" shall be the total number of credit hours undertaken in the university except as modified by paragraph (A)(2) or (B) of rule 3335-8-27.1 of the Administrative Code.
(3) For the student's work in the graduate school, the "applicable number of credit hours" shall be the total number of graduate credit hours undertaken while enrolled in the graduate school. For the student's work in a professional college or school or professional division of a college, the "applicable number of credit hours" shall be the total number of credit hours undertaken while enrolled in the professional college or school or professional division of a college.
(4) For the student's work in the major field of interest, the "applicable number of credit hours" shall be the total number of credit hours undertaken in courses approved for the major program.

3335-8-26.1 Recalculation of cumulative point-hour ratio.
(A) An undergraduate student who re-enrolls in the university after an absence of five or more years may petition the dean or director of his or her enrollment unit to recalculate the cumulative point-hour ratio of his or her previous residency. If the petition is approved, all courses taken will remain on the permanent record. Those with marks of "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "EM," "K," "PA," or "S" will be counted for credit only. No other marks will be counted for credit.
(B) If the petition is approved, the student resumes his or her academic program with no cumulative point-hour ratio, and thereafter is subject to the conditions of warning, probation, and dismissal that govern all students (see rules 3335-9-24 to 3335-9-28 of the Administrative Code).
(C) Under the provisions of this rule a student, before graduation, must be re-enrolled for a minimum of
(1) Forty-five quarter credit hours and
(2) Three academic quarters.
(D) All courses ever taken at the university will be used in the calculation of the cumulative point-hour ratio required for the purposes of graduation with honors.
(E) The graduate school and graduate professional colleges may formulate appropriate modifications of this rule, subject to approval by the council on academic affairs, and shall publish the rule in their bulletins. (B/T 6/7/79, B/T 7/10/81, B/T 5/3/96, B/T 7/9/2004)
