Other Grade Symbols

IN (Incomplete). May be assigned at the discretion of the instructor who believes that an extension of time is warranted for a student whose work is incomplete at the end of the term. Incomplete work may be made up, and a change of grade may be authorized by the instructor for up to two years after the IN grade was assigned. After two years, an IN is automatically changed to No Credit.

NG-No Grade Given. Assigned only by the registrar when no grade is assigned on the final grade roster by the faculty member. The NG will have no immediate effect on a student`s GPA; however, if the situation is not resolved within the following term, the NG will convert to an F, and the GPA will be recalculated accordingly.

P/NC (Pass/No Credit). Any student in the Graduate School of Education may elect, at the time of each registration, to be graded in any Graduate School of Education course on a Pass/No Credit basis. The choice of grading system typically is determined at the time of registration. The final designation of choice must be made, in consultation with the instructor, no later than the sixth week of the term. Under this grading system Pass is equivalent to an A, B+, B, C+ or C; No Credit is equivalent to F.

Dissertation research (701 courses) is graded Pass/No Credit, and it is not necessary to register with a P.

S/U Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Assigned when a course is taken on a noncredit basis.

TZ-Temporarily Not Graded. The TZ grade is assigned to students who never attended classes for a course, or stopped attending and did not officially withdraw, or were not graded by instructors.

Students are responsible for contacting the registrar to correct registration errors that have resulted in TZ grades and, when necessary, for contacting instructors to arrange final grades.

TZ grades remaining on records convert automatically to failures, without notification to students, for the fall term on May 1 and for the spring and summer terms on December 1. The winter session follows fall term conversion dates.

W (Withdrawal).  Withdrawn without evaluation; used when a student officially drops a course or withdraws during the first 12 weeks of the term.
