Other grades (I, IP, M, X, Y)

Incomplete (I)

The deadline for completion of an Incomplete in an undergraduate course is one calendar year. The instructor may set a shorter deadline, which is binding. An agreement for a longer period is by petition to the Scholastic Standards Committee. Failure to make up the incomplete by the end of one year will result in the mark of I automatically changing to a grade of F or NP, depending upon the grading option chosen by the student at registration.

For graduating students, Incompletes awarded in undergraduate courses taken in fall term 2006 or later will automatically change to the grade of F or NP upon conferral of degree. The faculty of record must file supplemental grade changes no later than 30 days after the degree is awarded. Grades of F or NP will remain on the academic record after the degree is awarded and cannot be removed.

In cases when a student's inability to complete the work by the deadline is due to extraordinary circumstances, such as catastrophic injury or illness, petition may be made to the Scholastic Standards Committee, which will review the case to determine appropriate action.

In-Progress (IP)

A grade of IP is used in special situations when a course that you registered for in one term is completed when you register for the companion course in a subsequent term. The instructor will change the IP grade to the appropriate grade when you complete of the final term of the course.

Missing (M)

A grade of Missing (M) is used when the instructor fails to submit a grade to Admissions, Registration and Records. This grade offers no credit and is not included in calculation of GPA.

Grades of X or Y

Grade of X is used when instructor feels there is no basis for a grade (e.g., non-attendance). Admissions, Registration and Records uses a grade of Y when an invalid grade is submitted. These grades offer no credit and are not included in calculation of GPA.
