Non-Evaluative Grade Notations (same as adopted by Senate, April 2010)

IN (Incomplete):
to be assigned in all cases where the student would receive a failing grade if the outstanding work is not completed or the exam is not written. A fixed lapse rule will be applied across the University for the IN to convert to F, if the work is not completed by the end of the term following the term in which the work was due originally.
GD (Grade Deferred): similar to IN, but has no lapse rule
NG (Not Graded): Courses that span multiple terms will be assigned a notation of NG until the course is completed; may be used for other courses in which no grade is assigned
FR: Failure with Review indicating that the failing grade is being reviewed and/or the student has the opportunity to write a supplemental examination to improve the grade.
AUD: remains audit
TR: transfer credit; no grade assigned
DR: course dropped
