AU | audit |
EI | extended incomplete |
I | |
NR | not complete |
P | pass |
R | recorded/term complete |
U | unsatisfactory |
W | withdrew* |
* W grades are not calculated into the GPA or included in Earned Hours. Tuition is charged for a withdrawn course and a W grade displays on the transcript to represent that a student withdrew from a class after the last day to drop without a W in a term.
Incompletes grades (I) are administered only under exceptional circumstances. Students must petition the Graduate Academic Standing Committee for an incomplete grade; instructor and committee approval are required. Students may petition to extend an expiring Incomplete by one semester. If approves, the an Extended Incomplete (EI) is entered.
Courses dropped between the end of the second and the end of the ninth week of classes are graded W (Withdrew); courses dropped after the ninth week of classes are graded F.
