R:
Re-enroll.
This symbol indicates that a student has made satisfactory progress, but
needs to repeat the course to reach the required exit proficiency level.
The R grade will be used only in English 041, 051, and 061 and Mathematics
03 and 04.
P:
Pass
AU:
This
symbol indicates participation on a non-credit (audit) basis by students
who meet certain minimum standards set by the course instructor. Students
wishing to audit must have permission from the chair of the department
(except for courses in the School of Business and Economics, see the Dean)
in which the course is offered and are subject to the same tuition and
fees as students enrolled for credit.
W:
This
symbol indicates withdrawal without penalty. It is automatically assigned
for withdrawal from the end of the drop period (first two weeks) through
the seventh week of the semester and for other documented withdrawals (click
here to see
Withdrawal
Policy).
Pass/Fail
Students may take certain courses under pass/fail. Pass/Fail courses
are open to undergraduate students with 30 or more credit hours. A student
may take a maximum of three courses; these courses may not be those which
are required for general education or for major or minor requirements.
Special non-degree students may also elect the pass/fail grading option.
The student must do satisfactory work in order to obtain a passing grade.
Satisfactory work is defined as "C" work or better. Courses taken under
the pass/fail option will not be included in the calcualtion of the grade
point average. Students who wish to take a course for Pass/Fail credit
must notify the Registration Office of that fact by the end of the first
six weeks of classes in the semester, or the equivalent portion of a summer
session. Once this declaration is made, grading status cannot be changed.
Audit
With department approval, a student may register for a course on an
audit basis. Auditing a course means that a student enrolls in a course
but does not receive academic credit. A student who registers for an audit
may be subject to other course requirements at the discretion of the instructor.
Audit students are charged the regular rate of tuition and fees, and an
audit course is counted as part of the student's semester load.
A change in registration from "audit" to "credit" or from "credit" to
"audit" must be effected by the end of the add period. A course taken for
audit cannot be changed to credit at a later date, nor can a course taken
for credit be changed at a later date to audit.
Repeated Courses
Students may repeat one or more courses, up to a total of five repeats,
and have the most recent grade replace the original in grade point average
calculations. All enrollments and grades appear on the transcript. After
the fifth repeat, both the original and repeated grade will be included
in GPA calculations.
Grade Estimates
During the regular session, grade estimates are issued to all first-year
students and any other students making a "D" or "F." Estimate grades
are due to the Registration Office by noon on Monday of the fifth full
week of classes and are accessible to students by using the
WIN on-line student
information system.
