Grading
The Graduate Programs grading system is as follows:
A (93-100) (Excellent), B (85-92) (Satisfactory), C (75-84) (Minimally acceptable), F (below 75) (Unacceptable), I (Incomplete*), IP (In Progress*), Pass/Fail*, W (Withdrawn*), WF (Withdrawn from course failing), AU (Audit*).
* Not figured in computing the grade point average.
Grade F Policy
A grade of F in any course indicates that a candidate is not in “Good Academic Standing.” If a candidate earns an F, the course must be repeated the next semester it is offered. A candidate has one year (3 semesters – fall, spring, summer) to replace the F grade. Academic Probation can also affect the Temporary Provisional Certificate for Teacher Education candidates.
Grade Appeal
Following consultation with their department chair, the professor, and the Dean of their department, candidates may request a review of a grade assigned in a particular course. Such an appeal will be heard by the Dean and the Graduate Academic Curriculum and Policy Committee (GACPC). Candidates must file an appeal within one term (semester or summer) of receipt of the grade in question. Appeals should be made in writing, addressed to the GACPC, and submitted to the Dean.
