IN (Incomplete). May be assigned at the discretion of
an instructor who believes that an extension of time is warranted for a
student whose work is incomplete at the end of the semester.
NG (No Grade). The
NG grade is assigned by the Office of the Registrar. It is used when
either the faculty member has left the grade blank or the student is
credited with a blank grade because of a computer error. If a student
who receives an NG grade fails to clear up the problem within the
following semester, the NG grade will convert to an F, and the student's
cumulative grade-point average will be recalculated accordingly.
P/NC (Pass/No Credit). Graduate
programs may offer courses on a Pass/No Credit basis. A nonnumerical
grade of Pass or No Credit is assigned to any student who has
registered for his or her course on this basis.
S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory). Used for 700-level courses of research carrying credit or in regular courses taken not-for-credit.
Time Limits for Incompletes. Work
must be completed and a change of grade submitted within 12 months
after the end of the course. After a year, no change may be made, and
the Incomplete will remain on the student's permanent record. If a
graduate student in the Graduate School–Newark has 12 or more credits
of coursework incomplete (IN), he or she will not be permitted to
register for further courses unless the dean grants a waiver.
W (Withdrawal). Used when a student has withdrawn with permission of the proper authority.
