P |

| I | = | Incomplete. At the discretion of the faculty member, a grade of “I” may be assigned to a student who has successfully completed [i.e., with at least a passing grade] a majority of the work of the class and who has an unavoidable and compelling reason why the remainder of the work cannot be completed on schedule. Incomplete grade requests can only be submitted after the end of the formal withdrawal (“W”) period. Upon the completion of the work within the next regular semester at the time prescribed by the faculty member, the faculty member will award the student a letter grade, including the possibility of an “F.” An “I” grade that is not replaced by a letter grade or an “IE” grade by the end of the grade deadline in the subsequent regular semester will automatically become a grade of “F.” |
|
IE |
= |
Incomplete Extended. At the discretion of the faculty member, a grade of “IE” may be assigned to a student for one semester if the situation warrants. The “IE” grade that is not replaced by the end of the grade deadline of the semester in which it expires will automatically become a grade of “F.” |
| FN | = | Failure, Never Attended. Same grade point calculation as “F.” Denotes that student never attended but did not officially withdraw. This is an internal classification for tracking purposes, and the official grade will appear as an “F’ on the transcript. |
| FS | = | Failure, Stopped Attending. Same grade point calculation as “F.” Denotes that student never attended but did not officially withdraw. This is an internal classification for tracking purposes and will appear on the transcript as an “F”. |
|
S |
= |
Satisfactory progress. This grade is reserved for a course that typically goes beyond one semester. A final grade is posted upon completion of the work. |
|
W |
= |
Withdrawal or drop from a course without jeopardy or effect on GPA, in the period beginning with the 13th day of classes and ending with the last day of the 11th week of a regular semester, or as specified on the Academic Calendar for courses in other sessions. Failure to withdraw officially from any or all courses within the specified period to withdraw with a ‘W’ can result in a grade of “F.” |
|
WF |
= |
Withdrawal or drop from a course after the end of official withdrawal period, ending on the last day of classes for the term. Equivalent to “F’ grade, earning 0.00 grade points per credit hour and impacting term and cumulative GPA. |
|
AUD |
= |
Audit only; no credits earned. |
|
NGS |
= |
No grade submitted. This is a temporary notation used when a faculty member has not submitted a grade by a prescribed deadline. The course grade is pending. The faculty member will report the actual course grade by means of their myStThom account or the official Grade Change Form. NGS has no negative impact on a student’s term or cumulative GPA. |
The GPA is calculated by adding the total number of grade points earned and then dividing by the total number of hours attempted at the University.
