engaged in practicum, internship, field experiences, independent study, thesis,
dissertation, or courses in which completion of work may typically be expected
to exceed the end of the term. The “IP” will be removed from the transcript
when the final grade has been posted.
No Progress
A grade of “NP” (No Progress) is given to students enrolled in Master’s
Thesis, Dissertation Proposal or Dissertation, whose work does not indicate
that they are making required progress on completion of their thesis,
dissertation proposal, or dissertation. Any student receiving three consecutive
grades of NP will be referred to the Student Comprehensive Evaluation
Committee for review. The “NP” will be removed from the transcript when the
final grade for Master’s Thesis, Doctoral Dissertation Proposal, or Doctoral
Dissertation has been posted.
