Temporary Grades
Temporary grades signify that credit has not been earned in that course, and may subject the student to scholastic probation or dismissal. Temporary grades shall not prevent the calculation of either the semester or the cumulative grade point average. An instructor may assign a temporary grade for a course when student work is not completed within the semester.
| Temporary Grade | Conditions for Assigning a Temporary Grade |
|---|
| N (No basis for grade) | A student has completed few or no assessments and no make-up schedule has been agreed upon with the instructor; the instructor has no basis for a grade. |
| I (Incomplete grade) | A student has not completed all of the assessments but work completed is of passing quality and a make-up schedule has been agreed upon with the instructor. |
| X (Final assessment absence) | A student did not submit a final assessment and might by means of a satisfactory performance on the assessment complete the course with a passing grade. If in the opinion of the instructor such a student would fail the course regardless of the result of the assessment, the student shall be given a grade of “F.” |
The student must complete all outstanding work on a schedule determined by the instructor and by the end of the third week of the following semester. Exceptions to this deadline are made by the Dean of Students or designee with the consent of the instructor. (Extension Request Form)
Once the student submits the outstanding work or completes the final assessment, the instructor must submit a change of grade within 10 working days.
If the student does not submit outstanding work by the agreed upon deadline and has not been granted an exception, the instructor will calculate the student’s grade based on work completed for the course.
Passing grades will replace temporary grades on the transcript. For students who do not complete the missing work and therefore fail the course, the temporary grade will be retained on the transcript and followed by “F.”
