No Credit |
| Students in college developmental mathematics courses who have progressed through the semester to the point established by the mathematics department, but who fail to complete the total number of course modules required for a passing grade, may be awarded a grade of “N” instead of a grade of “I” or “F” and may be allowed to start at the next course module when they enroll in the same course in the next semester. The grade of N may only be entered for a student’s first two attempts; a grade of “P” or “F” must be assigned for a third attempt. |
| NR |
|
Not Reported |
| A grade of “NR” is used as a temporary “placeholder” until an official grade is recorded. |
| NS |
|
No Show |
| A “grade of “NS” is used as a “placeholder” for students who have not attended a class for two weeks. A grade of “NS” is automatically changed to a grade of “W” if the student does not resume class attendance and gain reinstatement from the course instructor. |
| I |
|
Incomplete |
| An Incomplete grade may be assigned by an instructor to a student who has been progressing throughout the semester, and who has completed a substantial amount of the work with a passing grade, but who has had serious extenuating circumstances which interfere with the student’s ability to complete the course in the current semester. A grade of “I” is automatically changed to a grade of “F” if not made up within the timeframe established on the Agreement for Completion of Coursework" form IIN-8 (summer sessions excluded). |
