You can view and print your grades on , where instructors post them daily. Grade information is not given out over the phone, and official grade reports are not mailed to the student’s permanent address.

Note: Grades or course listings prior to Fall 2000 are not available through the Course/Grade menu item in my.����ר��. To get access to grades from previous semesters, use the unofficial transcript menu item.

Early term progress grades are collected in September for the fall term and February for the spring term. Midterm progress grades are collected in October for the fall term and March for the spring term.

Instructors can enter deficient grades — C-, D+, D-, F, FA (failing due to poor attendance), or FT (failing due to poor testing) — or indicate that the student does not currently have a deficient grade.

You can see your progress grade report under “Academic Records” in . (Pop-ups must be enabled.) Progress grades also are available for people who are granted access to your academic records. If a deficient grade is reported, the people who have been granted access will be copied on an email directing them to  to view the Early Grade Report.

Early term and midterm term grades are not recorded on your permanent academic record.

At the end of the term, instructors enter grades on their grade rosters. After instructors enter grades, the Registrar’s Office posts the grades, and they are available on .

• For Fall, Spring and Summer terms: Grades are posted every two hours seven days a week.
• For Interterms (May, August, January): Grades are posted approximately every two hours during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-F)

Grade changes are initiated by the course instructor and approved by the academic chair and dean. If a student requests a change, the instructor may ask for a written petition.

Grades can be changed for clearing an “I,” correcting an error or re-evaluating your original work. No changes are allowed based on additional work.

Changes of “I” must be processed within a year, and other grade changes must be complete by the end of the next regular term. No changes are allowed after 12 months or after graduation, unless successfully appealed within six months or in extenuating circumstances approved by the dean and registrar.

Your all-college GPA is the GPA used from all your grades at any college or university you’ve attended, including ����ר��. Your ����ר�� GPA is your GPA based only on your ����ר�� grades. Some schools/majors use your all-college GPA or grades in courses you’ve taken at another institution to determine if they will admit you to their major.

An “F” is a failing grade. With a “D-” and above, you will earn course credit, but you may not meet the requirements for your major or be able to progress in a sequence of classes. If you make a “C” or lower in a class, double-check your major requirements in the  or ask your academic advisor.

If you made a D+ or lower in a course, you may repeat the course at ����ר�� and have the second grade used in place of the first grade to calculate your ����ר�� GPA. Your first grade will stay on your transcript, though, so it could impact you in the future if you choose to attend graduate school or transfer to another university.

Students may choose to take one course per term on a pass/fail basis, with a maximum of 12 credit hours with a Pass grade counting toward their degree requirements. In addition, students may enroll in up to four extra Personal Responsibility and Wellness (PRWII) courses beyond their required degree courses.

To take a course as pass/fail, students must declare their intent by the deadline in the academic calendar (coinciding with the term’s drop/withdrawal deadline) by submitting the Undergraduate Pass/Fail Option Declaration Form.

Students should consult their academic adviser before opting for pass/fail, as some courses may be ineligible for this grading option. ����ר�� Study Abroad students should check the specific deadlines for courses taken through ����ר�� Abroad Programs.

• Once a course is declared as pass/fail, this designation cannot be changed to a letter grade.
• If a department mandates that a course is graded pass/fail for all students, no declaration is needed.
• Courses that are failed cannot be retaken as pass/fail, except when designated as pass/fail-only courses.
• Pass/fail policies for major and minor courses may vary by school, so students should review their specific school’s catalog section for guidance.

Under the pass/fail grading option, grades of A, B, and C (including C-) are considered Passing (P), while D+, D, D-, and F are Failing (F). A pass/fail student will not receive their regular letter grade, and the pass/fail grade cannot be reverted to a letter grade (or vice versa) after assignment.

While the Pass (P) grade does not impact the GPA, the Fail (F) grade does.
