Important Reminders
Grades are due 48 hours after your final class meeting/final examination.
Timely submission of final grades is critical, as Registrar staff must quickly begin the process of clearing candidates for degree conferral. In addition, we must quickly review the status of probationary students, and determine those who qualify for inclusion on the Dean’s/Honor’s List.
UW – Unauthorized Withdrawal
The grade of UW should be assigned when a student never initiated proper withdrawal procedure and either stopped attending a class or didn’t attend the class at all. This grade should NOT be used as a “kind” alternative to an earned F. In many instances, a UW can affect a student’s financial aid eligibility for the current and future terms and might require the university to return federal financial aid funds, since the credits are not counted in their units taken/completed.
INC – Incomplete (General)
Not included in GPA; included in hours attempted. Should be assigned when discussed with a student and it is determined that all required work will not be completed by the end of the term. Students have until the end of the following semester to complete the unfinished work. Faculty must submit a Change of Grade form to the Registrar’s Office upon completion of the work. “I” followed by another grade symbol, (i.e. IA, IB+, IF) indicates that the work has been completed and the symbol after “I” is used in the GPA. When the work is ultimately completed, the “I” plus the grade remain permanently on the transcript. INC grades earned in undergraduate courses will automatically convert to “F” at the conclusion of the semester following the one in which the grade was assigned (i.e. an outstanding INC earned in a fall course will automatically change to an “F” at the conclusion of the following spring term unless the coursework is completed and the grad changed).
Incomplete Grades (Undergraduate courses only)
INC grades earned in undergraduate courses will automatically convert to “F” at the conclusion of the semester following the one in which the grade was assigned (i.e. an outstanding INC earned in a spring course will automatically change to an “F” at the conclusion of the following fall term). Please be sure that you’ve had a discussion with the student regarding the INC assignment before assigning it.
W – Authorized Withdrawal
Not computed, counted in hours attempted. Indicates a student-initiated withdrawal. This grade is preprinted on the grade roster.
AUD – Audit Non-credit.
Not included in GPA. This grade is preprinted on the grade roster.
