Grade Definition

Administrative Drop (DR): Student withdrew from course with permission of university administration. Credits are not calculated in GPA.
Audit (AU): See Audit entry in this section.
Dropped Without Permission (DW): Student was registered for the course but failed to attend. Course calculated in GPA as a failure of credits.
Incomplete (I): A student will receive an Incomplete (I) when course work cannot be completed by the end of the semester due to illness and/or unforeseeable circumstances and the instructor believes the reason to be valid. A grade of Incomplete should not be awarded because of neglect on the part of the student. Students have one term in which to finish courses graded with an Incomplete. An Incomplete is a placeholder and does not affect the grade point average until it is changed by the instructor of the course. Change of grade forms must be received by the Office of the Registrar no later than the due date of grades for the subsequent regular term (Fall or Spring). Upon receipt of the change of grade, the student’s transcript will reflect only the final grade. Grades of I which are not completed in one term will be automatically changed to a letter grade of F.

No Grade (NG): A student will receive a No Grade (NG) when coursework cannot be completed by the end of a semester in courses such as Student Teaching (EDUC 4130), Athletic Training Practicum, Internship (4970), or Independent Study (4910). The completion deadline for the coursework is determined by the instructor in the course. The grade of NG will not affect the student’s grade point average.
Not Submitted (NS): Instructor has not provided a grade.
Pass (P): See Pass/Fail entry in this section.
Withdrawal (W): See Registration: Course Drop entry in this section.
