grading system: undergraduate | graduate & doctoral | performance transcript september 1985 to present
H - Honors Option If a course was taken as an Honors Program requirement, the grade received will be followed by "H" (for example, AH, BH). F - Failure Issued if a student maintains required attendance but fails to achieve adequate scholastic progress. The grade is recorded permanently on the student's personal record. Upon successful completion of the course at a later date, the cumulative average is adjusted to reflect only the passing grade. However, both grades will appear on the academic transcript. This system allows students to recover academically from poor terms and graduate within a reasonable amount of time. Withdrawal (W), Withdrawal/Pass (WP), Withdrawal/Fail (WF) In order to record attempted credits (including for purposes of determining satisfactory academic progress), a grade of W, WP, or WF is recorded when a student withdraws, or is withdrawn due to excessive absences, from a registered course after its add/drop period has ended. Students withdrawing from graduate and post-graduate level courses are eligible for a W grade only. A W is a punitive and failing grade issued at the instructor’s discretion, and is entered permanently into the term and cumulative grade point averages. In order to qualify for a WP, the student must have an estimated grade of 60 or higher at the time of withdrawal. This grade is not entered into the term and cumulative grade point averages. If the estimated grade is below 60, the student will be issued a WF, which is entered into the term and cumulative grade point averages as a failing grade until successful completion of the course at a later date. I - Incomplete Issued to students if they are unable to complete course requirements (because of authorized absences due to service commitment or illness). Outstanding work must be completed within two weeks of the exam class day (or six days in a culinary laboratory class) or the grade will automatically become an "F." NC - No Credit A non-punitive designation issued to a student who has been authorized to withdraw from class, or the University, due to extenuating circumstances or who has withdrawn from the University prior to mid-term. GP - Grade Pending A temporary mark given when the completion of course requirements is still underway. A grade pending is not calculated into the cumulative average and is generally used under extreme, extenuating circumstances. If a grade is not submitted to replace the "GP" within one year, it will automatically become an "F." AU - Audit Issued when no academic credit is granted. The academic work required in an audit situation is at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Audited classes require normal tuition fees, and must be scheduled during the regular scheduling process. Prerequisite course requirements must be met (not applicable for laboratory classes). P - Proficiency Granted for achievement of multiple levels of skills in progression where the self-paced approach is in effect. This grade is not calculated into the cumulative average. PL - Prior Learning Students may earn credits for the knowledge or skills they have mastered outside the classroom through volunteer work, employment, travel programs, organizations or other comparable sources. To apply for prior learning, students must meet the University's residency requirements and complete the prior learning non-credit seminar. This seminar will meet for two-hour sessions. Students must discuss this option with an academic counselor before they are eligible to enroll. The seminar assists students with the development of a portfolio that describes and documents how the learning took place. The completed portfolio is submitted to the appropriate department designee for review. The assessor will review the portfolio and either validate the student's learning by awarding college credits, request additional information, or deny the request for credits. Once the seminar is completed, eligible students in consultation with an academic counselor may submit additional portfolios CX - Challenge Exam Granted for specifically designated courses upon successful completion of department challenge exams.
