(6) Each person serving in the United States armed forces, assigned to duty in Utah, and members of the family of such persons who live in Utah shall be deemed residents for the purpose of this act. A prospective student whose credentials indicate out-of- state status is classified as a non-resident. All requests for resident classification must be filed with the Office of Dean of Admissions and Records. Grade and Grade Points—The grade system consists of eleven grades as follows: A—Excellent; B—Above Average; C—Average; D—Unsatisfactory; E—Failure; I—Incomplete; CR—Credit; NC— No Credit. W is used to denote Withdrawn, WF—Withdrawn Failing and UW—Unofficial Withdrawal. Grade points are earned according to the following schedule: for each credit hour of A—four points, B—three points, C—two points, D—one point, E—no points. The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credit hours of the course for which the grade points have been accumulated to determine the student's grade point average (GPA). A GPA of 3.5 represents honors. Credit/No-Credit Grading Procedure—The basic objective for a Credit/No-Credit program is to allow students to enroll in courses without the pressures that often develop in letter grades. I. Eligibility of students for CR/NC grading: A. Open only to students with more than 45 hours of completed credit. B. Open only to students who are not on academic probation or academic warning. 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, Manufacturing Planning I, II, III, and Convocation credit. B. A maximum of two classes per quarter can be taken for CR/NC grades. II. C. No course taken on a CR/NC basis will count toward major, minor, general area requirements, or the specific course requirements (with the exception of the specific course requirements in P.E. and those exceptions noted in II A above). D. Grades on the CR/NC system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of CR is equivalent to a grade of D and above. E. If the student changes his major, the Registrar reconverts to the letter system those credits earned under the CR/NC system to the new major. III. Mechanics A. Choice of the CR/NC courses should be made during registration but may be changed the first four weeks 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 of who is taking a class for regular credit or CR/NC grades. He fills out all Final Grade Cards with letter grades. Incompletes—An Incomplete may be given by an instructor in a class only when the student has completed at least eight weeks of the autumn, winter, spring quarters, or six weeks of the summer quarter but is unable to complete the classwork because of illness or other legitimate reasons 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 following the receipt of the I-Incomplete. For good reasons, a student may petition the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee for additional time to complete the work. Generally, an extension will not be longer 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 must file a Report of Incomplete with his department, specifying what must be done for removal of the Incomplete. The report should be 29
