I

Incomplete

Incomplete academic work for unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable reasons at the end of the term may result in an "I" symbol being entered in the student's record. The condition for removal of the "I" shall be stated by the professor in a written record. This record shall contain the conditions for removal of the "I" and the grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This record must be given to the student with a copy on file with the Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services until the "I" is made up or the time limit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed. The "I" may be made up no later than one semester following the end of the term in which it was assigned. The "I" symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for grade points. The student, under extenuating circumstances, may request an extension of the time limit for making up the "I" by submitting a General Petition for consideration.

IP

In Progress

The "IP" symbol shall be used only in those courses which extend beyond the normal end of an academic term. It indicates that work is "in progress," but that assignment of an evaluative symbol (grade) must await its completion. The "IP" symbol shall remain on the student's permanent record in order to satisfy enrollment documentation. The appropriate evaluative symbol (grade) and unit credit shall be assigned and appear on the student's permanent record for the term in which the course is completed. The "IP" shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. If a student enrolled in an "open-entry, open-exit" course is assigned an "IP" at the end of an attendance period and does not re-enroll in that course during the subsequent attendance period, the appropriate faculty will assign an evaluative symbol (grade) in accordance with subsection "A" of this policy to be recorded on the student's permanent record for the course.

RD

Report Delayed

The "RD" symbol may be assigned only by the Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanent symbol as soon as possible. "RD" shall not be used in calculating grade point averages.

X

Credit by Examination

The "X" shall be added to the evaluative symbol recorded when a course is challenged by examination.

W

Withdrawal (Authorized)

Withdrawal from a class or classes shall be authorized by conditions set forth in AP 5075, Course, Registration Adds, and Drops.

Notations shall be prescribed on the academic record of the student who withdraws within the guidelines of AP 5075, Course, Registration Adds, and Drops.
