Grades of P, NG, WIP, AU, DR, and W are not used in computing quality point averages.
Each individual instructor adopts a fair, consistent, and appropriate grading scale for his
or her course.
GRADE OF INCOMPLETE
A grade of incomplete (“I”) may be considered when the student has completed a
minimum of 75% of a course and cannot complete the remaining 25% due to extenuating
