"NR" Not Reported - Assigned by Admissions and Records pending faculty submission of final grade
1. The "Plus" and Minus" is a part of the grading scale of each institution. It is up to the individual faculty member to exercise this option.
2. The "F" grade is a part of the grading scale for each institution. All grades are awarded at the option of the faculty. Students may repeat failed courses.
3. Withdrawals indicate that the student did not complete the course.
4. The course syllabus shall contain a clear explanation of the grading scale to be used by the faculty member. Students may not appeal the format an instructor chooses.
5. "NR" signifies that grade was not reported.
6. "I" GRADE: An Incomplete grade may be given by the instructor when a student has completed 75 percent of the course work with a grade of at least "C," but where there is some verifiable compelling reason for the lack of completion. College regulations limit the amount of time the student has to make up assignments or examinations. The "I''(incomplete) must be made up during the following semester. Failure to do so will result in the "I'' grade being changed to a "W.'' A student wishing to complete the work for a course in which he/she received an incomplete must make arrangements with the instructor who issued the incomplete grade. A grade change is due to Admissions & Records by the last day of the semester.
