EXPLANATION OF UNDERGRADUATE & GRADUATE GRADES
This table explains the codes for each grade and when it should be used.
| Grade | Explanation |
|---|---|
| A | Excellent — Valued at four quality points per semester hour. |
| B | Good — Valued at three quality points per semester hour. |
| C | Average — Valued at two quality points per semester hour. |
| D | Below average — Valued at one quality point per semester hour. |
| E | Failure — No semester hours earned and no quality points. This grade is given to a student who completed the course and earned a failing grade. |
| I | Incomplete — Given only when, because of extenuating circumstances, the student cannot complete course requirements by the end of the term, but probably can do so if given an extension by one-half semester. If the course requirements are not completed by midterm of the next semester, the "I" will be changed to a failing grade. See UAR 108 for additional information. |
| IP | In progress — May only be assigned to 670 (Directed Research), 699 (Thesis) or 676 (Directed Study) Courses. |
| K | Credit, pass-fail course — Semester hours earned; no quality points; not computed in GPA. This grade is given when a student passes a pass-fail course. |
| N | Failure, pass-fail course — No quality points; computed in GPA and used in undergraduate grading only. |
| R | Course repeated — Replaces original grade for repeated course; not computed in GPA. |
| U | Unofficial withdrawal — Computed as credits attempted; computed as zero quality points in GPA calculation. Given to a student who stopped attending the course, did not complete the course and did not officially withdraw from the course. |
| W | Withdrew officially — No hours attempted; not computed in GPA. |
| WY | Withdrawal from audit class — Not computed in GPA. |
| Y | Audit credit — No hours attempted; not computed in GPA; not applicable to degree program. |
Note: The grades K and N are restricted to students who opt to take a course with a pass-fail option. The pass-fail option is restricted and applicable only to free elective courses or specific courses identified for a major or minor used for competency evaluation (i.e., those courses not required for the area, major, minor or general education requirements). These courses must be approved by the dean’s office where the course is housed and sent to the Office of the Registrar for registration.
