Undesignated electives may be completed under this option. A maximum of 15 credits earned by this option may be applied to an associate or baccalaureate degree. This option may not be used in courses that meet General Education Requirements (GERs) or major or minor requirements in a student’s program.
A deferred grade (DF) is used when the student is making satisfactory progress but completion of the course (such as thesis, project, research courses, internships, etc.) typically requires more than one semester. Credit is withheld, without academic penalty, until the course requirements are met.
A grade of CR (credit) is entered on the student’s transcript. For performance comparison only, a grade of CR is considered equivalent to a minimum grade of C. A grade of CR does not carry grade points and is not included in GPA calculations.
A grade may not be changed unless a grading error, such as a mathematical miscalculation or inaccurate recording, has been made on the part of the faculty member. Corrections of grading errors must be made by the last class day of the next regular semester following the one in which the grade was originally assigned.
No credit is awarded, nor is NB calculated in the GPA. However, this grade may be used to determine satisfactory academic progress for purposes of federal financial aid. This is a permanent grade and may not be used to substitute for the incomplete grade. It cannot be removed later by completing outstanding work.
The CR/NC option is not available for graduate courses, nor can this option be used on courses repeated for GPA improvement. The instructor grades students using the grading basis approved for the course (A-F or P/NP). Students are awarded credit for the course if their final grade is P or a minimum grade of C.
