52 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES
sor has the prerogative of determining
whether or not a student may rectify deficiencies
occasioned by absences for
other reasons. It is the student's responsibility
to inform the professor of the reason
for an absence and to do so in a timely
fashion if the student wishes to claim the
benefits stated in this paragraph.
Withdrawal During
a Semester
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw
from the University before the end of
the semester must secure proper forms
for withdrawal through the Office of the
Vice President for Admissions and Financial
Aid. The forms require approval by
various offices and administrators. If procedure
is not followed, the student is automatically
assigned a grade of F in all
courses.
* ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Grades and Quality of Work
Grades
A college grade indicates the level of
knowledge, understanding, and competence
attained by a student relative to the
objectives and subject matter of a course
as determined by the professor's evaluation
of the student's performance during
the semester. A grade is assigned for
each course in which a student is
enrolled, and that grade is entered on the
student's permanent record.
The following grades are assigned as
appropriate:
A - Superior.
B - Good. Above average.
C - Average.
D - Poor. Below average, but
passing.
S - Satisfactory. Given only in a few
courses such as practicums,
internships, or other special
courses offered on a pass-fail
basis.
I - Incomplete. Given to a student
who has substantially completed
the course but who, at the end of
the semester and due to circumstances
beyond his/her control,
lacks certain essentials ofperformance. Successful completion
of the course within the
time frame specified by the professor
giving the I, but no later
than the last day of the following
long semester, will entitle the student
to a regular grade. Courses
in which a grade of I is received
are included in the calculation of
the student's G.P.A. only after the
deadline for completing the
course and receiving a regular
grade has passed. Since no
grade points are awarded for an
I, it will have the same effect as
an F in determining the student's
G.P.A. if the course is not completed
within the specified time
and the I becomes the permanent
grade.
IP -In Progress. Available only
when, by design, course work
extends beyond the semester or
term in which the course is
scheduled. This grade implies
satisfactory progress and is used
primarily in internship, travel,
individual research, and thesis
courses. A grade of IP is not
counted as an attempt in calculating
the student's grade point
average.
F- Failure. No credit given.
W -Withdrawn. *See note below.
WP -Withdrawn Passing. *See note
below.
WF- Withdrawn Failing. *See note
below.
CR -Credit.
NCR -No Credit.
AU--Audit. Indicates a course for
which the student enrolled but
did not seek credit.
*NOTE: A student who officially withdraws,
or is officially withdrawn,
from a course will receive a
grade of W if the withdrawal
occurs early in the semester,
prior to the date specified in the
calendar. A student who withdraws
or is withdrawn after the
last date for a W will receive a
grade of WP if judged by the pro_ ______ __
