IN-Incomplete.
Students whose work is incomplete at
the end of the semester may be assigned a regular grade or, at the
discretion of the instructor if there is reason to believe that an
extension of time is warranted, a grade of IN. Students are strongly
urged to make up incomplete work as soon as possible--preferably before
enrolling in additional courses. With the consent of the instructor, a
student may take up to one year from the original due date to complete
a course, but it is generally expected that much less time will be
required. If the instructor has not submitted a final grade within the
one-year period, no change can be made and the grade IN remains on the
permanent record of registration for that course. Students may petition
the program director in writing for exemption from this policy.
Exceptions will be granted only in extraordinary circumstances and must
be approved by both the program director and the dean. The petition
must be submitted and the approval gained before the one-year period
has expired. Courses with IN grades do not count toward degree
completion. Students receiving a grade of IN in an essential course in
their degree program during a spring semester prior to graduation are not
eligible for graduation that May/June and must file for a later
diploma date.
In exceptional cases, where more than one year
is required, the student, in conjunction with the instructor, must
complete the Graduate Extension beyond One Year Form, which must be
approved by the program director and the dean.
P/NC-Pass/No Credit. A
grade of P/NC that has no numerical equivalent is assigned to any
student who has registered for a course on that basis when such
registration is in accord with the regulations of the faculty governing
the student and the faculty governing the course. P (pass) is
equivalent to an A, B, or C, while NC (no credit) is equivalent to a D
or F.
S/U-Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
Assigned to 700-level courses of research carrying credit or to regular courses taken on a noncredit basis.
T-Temporary. Temporary
grades are given at the discretion of the instructor when the student
has not properly completed the coursework requirements. The grade
assigned in conjunction with the T grade becomes the final grade,
unless a better grade is reported as a result of the completion of the
coursework within the time allowed by the instructor, but no later
than the end of the next semester. At present, this designation is used
only for students in the School of Social Work.
TZ-Temporarily Not Graded.
TZ grades
are assigned in cases when a student never attended, stopped attending
and did not withdraw from, or was not graded by his or her instructor
in courses taken for credit.
Students are responsible for
contacting the registrar to correct registration errors resulting in
grades of TZ and, when necessary, instructors to arrange final grades.
TZ grades remaining on records automatically convert to failures,
without notification to students, for fall semester courses on May 1 and
for the spring and summer semesters on December 1.
W-Withdrawal.
Officially withdrew.
