Show Student Records Credit/No-Credit Policy and Grading Procedure- The basic objective of the Credit/No-Credit program is to allow students to enroll in courses without the pressures that often develop in the letter grade system. I. Eligibility of students for CR/NC grading: A. Freshman students may take one course per quarter on a credit/no-credit basis. B. Students with 44 credit hours may register for no more than two courses per quarter on credit/no-credit basis. II. Further criteria for a CR/NC system: A. A maximum of 30 hours credit for CR/NC courses can be used for graduation exclusive of: student teaching credit, special examination credit, School of Education IPT program (Individualized Performance Based Teacher Education Program), Nursery School Practice Teaching, Methods classes, Family Life Practicums, Radiological Technology Practicums, Respiratory Therapy Clinical Applications, Engineering Technology Senior Projects, and Convocation credit. B. No course taken on a CR/NC basis will count toward major, minor, general area, or specific course requirements (with the exception of the specific course requirements in Physical Education and those exceptions noted in II A above). C. Grades on the CR/NC system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of CR is recorded for letter grades of D and above on the student's academic record. D. If the student changes major, the Registrar reconverts to the letter grade given by the class instructor those credits earned under the CR/NC system. E. Grades of CR/NC may not be used to satisfy the repeat course policy. III. Mechanics: A. Choice of the CR/NC courses should be made during registration but a course registration may be changed during the first sixty percent of the quarter. A student may add a CR/NC course during the specified period for adding courses. If the student withdraws from a CR/NC course, he withdraws under the current procedure for withdrawal. B. The course instructor is unaware whether a student is taking a class for regular credit or CR/NC grade and gives only letter grades on Final Grade Card and Report of Grades to Registrar form. Incompletes- An Incomplete may be given by an instructor in a class when the student is unable to complete the classwork for legitimate reason and, in the opinion of the instructor, can complete the required work of the course without re-registering for the class. The required work must be completed and a grade reported to the Registrar's Office within a 12-month period followign the receipt of an Incomplete. For good reasons, a student may petition the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee for additional time to complete the work. Generally, and extension will not be logner than one additional quarter. Any extension of time authorized beyond the 12-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete will be specifically shown on the petition. If the petition is approved, copies of the authorization should be sent to the appropriate department and instructor. When the instructor gives an Incomplete, he/she must file a Report of Incomplete with the department, specifying what must be done for removal fo the Incomplete. The report should be made in triplicate, one copy for the Registrar's Office, one for the Department, and one for the student. An Incomplete remains on the offical Academic Record Card unless made up within the 12-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete or within an approved extension of time. A course for which an Incomplete is given will not be considered in calculating G.P.A. Repeat Courses- A student may repeat any course taken in which he has received a low grade. The original grade will remain on the record. When a class has been repeated, the grade earned the last time the course is taken is the grade used in calculation of the student's grade point average. A student should not register under the 34 Student Affairs CR/NC policy if the course is to be used to satisfy the "repeat course" provision to supercede an existing course record. The student must notify the Registration Office after completing a course that a repeated grade for a repeated course should be used in recalculating the student's grade point average. Changing of Grades- Grades entered with the Records Office shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admission, Credits and Graduation Committee is expressly made by the teach concerned. Grade changes are permitted only when there has been an error in the computing or recording of grades. Make-up Examinations- No make-up examinations are allowed except on (1) the approval of the class instructor, (2) the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Cashier, and (3) the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned.
