NG—No Grade Reported • The inshuctor has not yet reported a grade for the course. This temporary symbol is used for the semester Report of Grades only. A course without a grade will not appear on the student's transcript. However, all courses must have an earned grade posted prior to graduation. SC—Special Credit • The student has received credit through an examination, waiver, or substitution for which they are not eligible for a letter grade. • These credits are counted toward the total number of credits required for graduation but are not used to calculate the cumulative grade point average. T—Temporary Grade • The course is being continued in the subsequent semester and a grade and credits will be calculated when the course is complete and a letter grade has been issued. The "T" grade is approved for specific courses only. UW—Unofficial Withdrawal • Indicates the student stopped attending the course without offi cially withdrawing. Note: UW's are calculated as failing grades in the student's semester and cumulative grade point averages.

Withdrawals are not permitted after the 50th business day of a semester or 30th business day of a block.

Repeat Courses • Repeated courses will be automatically flagged as part of the grad ing process at the end of each term. • Each course (unless specifically listed as repeatable for credit in the course description) may be used only once in cumulative hours and GPA. • A course will appear on the hanscript each time it is completed, but it will be counted only once in total hours and only the most recent letter grade received will be used to calculate the GPA (CR is not considered a letter grade and will not cause a previous grade to be discounted). • Once a bachelor's degree has been posted to a student's perma nent record, courses used for that degree may not be repeated to improve their GPA. Academic Renewal Academic renewal allows students the opportunity to recalculate their GPA by discounting grades of D+ or lower which were earned six or more years prior to the date of petition. • Courses completed prior to the awarding of a certificate, associate or bachelor's degree do not qualify for academic renewal. • Students must be currently registered, attending and have their tuition paid in full. • Academic renewal may be requested only once during a student's academic career. • Applications for academic renewal and detailed policy information are available at the Records Office or at www.weber.edu/records.
