About FD grades

FD grades stand for "FD - Failed - Disciplinary." FD grades are one of the possible sanctions for an Academic Code of Conduct violation. If you receive an FD grade, you will fail the course and be administratively removed from the course. This will have serious implications for your GPA and academic standing. Additionally, it will be recommended that you repeat the course as soon as possible.
