MnTC courses with a grade of D will be accepted, however, a minimum cumulative MnTC GPA of 2.0 is required for recognition of completion of the entire MnTC.
Subpart 5. Grade qualifiers, minus (-) and plus (+) will not affect how a grade is transferred into 易胜博. Grades with the qualifier will be accepted as the letter grade earned (I.E. C- = C and C+ = C.)

General education elective requirements will be met for all other programs with the exception that specific general education courses identified by a program will still be required.
