Grading System
(College Rule 6Hx23-4.20) (2006)

1. “I” (Incomplete) grades received at the end of any term become “F” if not completed by the end of the succeeding Fall or Spring term.


2. A grade of “N” is used only in college preparatory courses. A grade of “N” may be assigned to students earning a “D” or “F” in such courses.
   
   
3. A grade of “WF” is used to indicate a failing grade for a student who violates the instructor's attendance policy after the voluntary withdrawal date or at any time during the third attempt in a course.


4. “P” may be used as follows:


1. Students enrolled in physical education activity courses (e.g. golf, tennis, bowling, archery, racquetball, etc.) may choose to be graded on a “P/F” or an “A-F” basis. During the first 2 weeks the course is taught, the instructor will require each student to select the grade option preferred. “P” grades will not be used in GPA calculations.
2. Credit awarded by Assessment of Prior Learning through the Experiential Learning Program (ELP) may be designated by the grade of “P.” Assessment of Prior Learning is the only approved procedure for evaluating and awarding credit for prior learning.
3. Satisfactory completion of credit courses designated as Weekend Computer Institutes (WCI) or Corporate Training Services (CTS) may be graded on a “P/F” or an “A-F” basis. During the first meeting of the class, the instructor will require each student to select the grade option preferred. “P” grades will not be used in GPA calculations. Students who do not complete the final project in a Weekend Computer Institute class, but who attend all classes will receive a grade of “X.”

The following conditions must be met before an instructor is permitted to extend the “I” grade:

1. Documented evidence of the reason(s)/circumstance(s) for granting the “I” and extension of time to complete the course(s).
2. Minimum completion of 80% of the coursework required for the class(es).
3. Evidence via attendance, test grades, required projects, term papers, clinical/cooperative experiences, etc. that the student is in good standing in the course.
