Grades and Records

Students are graded in each course at the end of each term as follows:

A Outstanding.
B+

Good.
C+
C Satisfactory. Only a limited number of courses with a grade of C are accepted for graduate credit; see Scholastic Standing.
F
Failing.
S/U
Satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Used for courses with the credit prefix N.
P/NC Pass or no credit. Assigned upon completion of the work for courses 17:610:502 and 592.
W
Withdrawn without evaluation. Used when a student officially drops a course or withdraws during the first eight weeks of a term.
IN Incomplete. When a portion of course work is incomplete and the instructor is unable to judge a student`s course performance, the instructor may elect to assign a grade of IN. An incomplete remains on a student`s record until course requirements are completed and the instructor assigns an appropriate letter grade. When a grade of IN is assigned, course work must be completed within one year if the incomplete is to be converted to a grade. If unconverted, an incomplete becomes part of a student`s permanent record.
T Temporary. An instructor may assign a T followed by a grade when a portion of course work is incomplete and the instructor is able to make a tentative judgment of a student`s course performance on the basis of the portion completed. 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 course work within the time allowed by the instructor. That time cannot extend beyond the end of the spring term for fall grades or September 15 for spring and summer grades. The symbol T has no meaning except when preceding a regular grade. A TZ may be assigned in lieu of an F or TF to a student who does not appear to have attended class. The TZ will be converted to an F if not resolved during the following term. The TZ grade is not used for doctoral-level courses.
