AF: Instructor or administrator-initiated withdrawal at any time for reasons other than poor grade performance, e.g., failure to meet attendance requirements, as published in the instructor’s syllabus, violation of the Student Code of Conduct, disruptive behavior, etc. The grade may also be issued if a student registered in a clinic, practicum, internship or lab is deemed unsafe or performing in an unsatisfactory manner as determined by an evaluation by a faculty member/agency supervisor in accordance with department criteria and procedure. A grade of “AF” is calculated into the GPA as an “F”.
AU: A course taken as an audit does not earn credit and cannot be used to meet graduation requirements. Not all courses can be taken for audit. See full Audit Policy.
CR: Students who are matriculated and earning a C or better on a Credit by Examination receive a grade of CR. The credits earned count toward the degree and are not calculated in the GPA.
I: An Incomplete grade indicates that a student has not completed a major course assignment due to extraordinary circumstances. It is not used to give an extension of time for a student delinquent in meeting course responsibilities. The (I) grade is not calculated into the GPA. However, all work must be completed by the end of the third week of the subsequent semester or the grade defaults to an F. See full Incomplete policy: Incomplete Course Grade.
NP: No Pass; unsatisfactory (not calculated into GPA).
P: Pass (not calculated into GPA).
TR: Transfer (not calculated into GPA).
W: Student initiated withdrawal from a course at any time prior to completion of the drop deadline (60% of the course). Does not affect GPA, can be initiated by the instructor if the student, because of extenuating circumstances is unable to initiate the process (e.g., catastrophic illness or injury, job transfer to another state).
WF: Student initiated withdrawal from a course after the drop deadline (60%) of the course; student has a failing grade at time of drop, as determined by the instructor. A “WF” is calculated into the GPA as an “F”.
WP: Student initiated withdrawal from a course after the drop deadline (60%) of the course; student has a passing grade at time of drop, as determined by the instructor. A “WP” does not affect GPA and can be initiated by the instructor if the student, because of extenuating circumstances, is unable to initiate the process (e.g., catastrophic illness or injury, job transfer to another state).
* Not for Degree Credit: Courses that have an asterisk following the course name, are computed in the GPA, but cannot be used to satisfy degree requirements.
NOTE: When a student repeats a course (either voluntarily or because it is required to make up a failure), only the latest grade is computed in the GPA/CGPA, but both grades will appear on the academic transcript followed by an (I) – include and/or an (E) – exclude from CGPA.
