SCHOLASTIC GRADING AND REQUIREMENTS
SCHOLASTIC GRADING
The following system of grades is used to indicate the character
of the student's work in his various subjects of study:
A denotes Excellent,
B denotes Good,
e denotes Satisfactory,
D denotes Poor,
E denotes Conditioned,
F denotes Failed,
inc denotes Incomplete.
In giving the grade incomplete the "inc" must be followed by
a letter indicating the grade of work and by a number in parenthesis
indicating approximately the percentage of the work completed.
When so reported the grade of "inc" may, in summing grades, be
provisionally considered to correspond to such a number of credits
as the Registrar shall determine; but if reported without these specifications
it shall not be counted. The instructor's reason for giving
the grade and the manner by which the incomplete may be removed
must be entered in the space provided for that purpose.
When an incomplete is given because of absence from examinations
it may be removed by examinations only if the student has a leave
of absence issued by one of the Deans covering the examinations
missed.
It is recommended that the grade incomplete be given only in
the case of sickness or other emergency which justifies the noncompletion
of the work at the usual time.
Conditioned indicates deficiencies other than incomplete that may
be made up without actually repeating the subject. A grade of "D"
is given when the work is completed.
