DF. Disciplinary Failure
NG-Where no
grade is assigned on the final grade roster by the faculty member, the
registrar shall assign a NG (No Grade Given). The NG has no immediate
effect on a student`s GPA; however, if the situation is not resolved
within the following term, the NG converts to an F, and the GPA
will be recalculated accordingly.
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 a course on that basis. No more than one
course may be taken on a Pass/No Credit basis. This option may be used
for general electives only. A student must request the Pass/No Credit
option at the Office of Student Affairs. This request must be made at
the time of registration. This option may not be changed once the
course officially begins. Degree credit is given for a grade of Pass.
Neither Pass nor No Credit grades are included in the grade-point
average.
T (Temporary). Grades of TB+, TB, TC+, TC,
TD, and TF are used for all incomplete and temporary grades. Temporary
grades are given at the discretion of the instructor when course work
requirements have not been properly completed, e.g., major assignments
or examinations. The letter following the T represents the grade the
instructor would assign if the outstanding work were to remain
uncompleted. This temporary grade becomes permanent if the work is not
completed as required and notice is not received from the instructor to
convert the temporary grade to a permanent one. The permanent grade may
not be poorer than the assigned letter grade. Fall term T grades must
be completed by the first week of the spring term and spring and summer
T grades must be completed by the first week of the fall term.
TX-Term`s Work Incomplete and Examination Not Taken. To be used when the circumstances are such that both the T and X are applicable.
TZ-The
TZ grade may be assigned only when a student is unable to finish course
work due to a verifiable emergency situation. The student and faculty
member are urged to endeavor to reach an agreement as soon as possible
as to how the course can 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.
W-Withdrawal. Assigned
in the following cases: (1) when a student officially drops a course
between the end of the change-of-registration period and the end of
approximately the 10th week of instruction, and (2) when a student
withdraws from the college prior to the end of the 10th week, if he or
she submits a properly completed withdrawal form, obtained from the
Office of Student Affairs, Ackerson Hall 110, Newark, or at 1
Richardson Street, New Brunswick. A College of Nursing undergraduate
student may withdraw from the same required College of Nursing course
or required natural science course only once.
X-Examination Not Taken. Assigned
only when the instructor believes a student might have passed the
course had the final examination been taken. The student must arrange
with the instructor to take a deferred examination. If the student
fails to take a deferred examination within two weeks of the close of
the term or the time specified by the instructor in cases of extreme
hardship, the X becomes an F. (A TX will become a TF at the end of
such deferred examination period.)
