P/NC (Pass/No Credit). A nonnumerical grade of Pass
(equivalent to grades of A, B+, B, C+, and C) or No Credit (equivalent
to grades of D and F) is assigned to any student who has
registered for his or her course on that basis, when such registration
is in accord with the regulations of the student`s college and the
faculty offering the course.
T (Temporary). Grades of TB+, TB, TC+, TC, TD, TF, and TZ are
used for all incomplete and temporary grades. Temporary grades are
given at the discretion of the instructor when the student has not
completed properly the course work requirements (i.e., major
assignments or examinations). Students enrolled in courses in the
School of Engineering receive a grade of TF if the final examination is
not taken at the scheduled time. The letter grade following the T
represents the grade the instructor would assign if the outstanding
work were to remain uncompleted, except for the TZ grade. The TZ grade
should be assigned only when a student is unable to finish his or her
work due to a verifiable emergency situation. The student and faculty
member are urged to reach an agreement as soon as possible as to how
the course should be completed. The TZ will have no immediate effect on
a student`s GPA; however, if the situation is not resolved within the
following term, the TZ will convert to an F, and the GPA will be
recalculated accordingly. Temporary grades become permanent if the work
is not completed as required and no notice is received from the
instructor to convert the temporary grade to a permanent one. In no
case is this permanent grade lower than the assigned letter grade. Fall
term T grades must be completed by May 1; spring and summer T grades by
December 1. However, it remains the prerogative of an individual
faculty member and/or the office of the dean of the faculty offering
the course to set earlier deadlines and internal procedures for
completing the work required. It is the responsibility of the student
to contact the instructor for an interpretation of the T grade and
to establish a timetable for the completion of course work.
W (Withdrawal). A
W is assigned when a student has withdrawn from a course, without any
evaluation made of course work, on or before the completion of eight
weeks of any regular term with the permission of the appropriate
authority designated by each faculty. Under no circumstances shall the
assignment of W be allowed when the withdrawal from a college is
dated during the last two full weeks of instruction in any term. Should
withdrawal occur without permission, the instructor will give the
appropriate letter grade.
NG (No Grade Given). Where
no grade is assigned on the final grade roster by the faculty member,
an NG (No Grade Given) will be assigned. The NG will have no immediate
effect on the 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.
H (Honors). Used
in lieu of a grade for the first term of a full-year college or
departmental honors course. Credits for H grades are not
calculated into the student`s cumulative grade-point average until the
final grade is assigned upon completion of the honors course. Course
credits are included, however, in the total number of degree credits.
S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory). Grades used in courses where the N credit prefix is used.
