Additional Information Required for Non-Passing Grades

When a student receives a non-passing grade (F, N, or U), federal regulatory compliance requires the University to document the last date of academic engagement. When a non-passing grade is entered into the Student Information System (SIS) a date field will open to record the date of last academic engagement. This may be the last known date of attendance or the last date for other forms of engagement that comply with the definition.

The Final Grades will then be saved. The Registrar’s office will post the grades, at which point the students may view them online.

Special Grades

Most courses at the University are graded A – F. The University leaves it to the instructor’s discretion how numerical grades equate to letter grades. However, there are some cases in which a special grade is given instead. Below are some examples.

  • I (Incomplete)Report an if you decide, due to unusual circumstances, that the student cannot complete the course assignments.

  • X (Absent from the Final Exam): Report an X when the student missed the final exam but is otherwise passing the course.

  • N (No Grade): Report an N when the student has been registered but is not present in the class, which usually indicates a registration problem.

  • Pass/Fail: Report the earned letter grade; the system will convert the grade to P or F.

  • AuditEnter a grade of AU.

  • S/U: Some courses are graded S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) and will not accept an A - F letter grade.

  • W: Indicates an administrative drop.
