U	Unsatisfactory	A grade of "U" does not earn credit toward graduation.
W	Withdrawal	A grade of "W" indicates official withdrawal from a course in which a student has enrolled. A student must initiate the process to withdraw by submitting a worksheet to the Registration/Cashier's Office.
N	Audit	A grade of "N" indicates that a student is enrolled in a course on an audit basis. The grade means that no credit is given. A student who wishes to attend a class regularly but does not require a grade or credit may decide to audit the course. Students may enroll on an audit basis, or may change to an audit basis prior to the tenth week with the instructor's approval. A student who enrolls on an audit basis may not change to a credit basis.
NS	Insufficient Instructional Contact	Instructors may assign an "NS" grade which indicates that the faculty member has had, in their judgment, insufficient instructional contact with the student.
I	Incomplete Effective Summer 2006	A student must initiate a request for an "I" (Incomplete Grade) from an instructor. The "I" will be given at the sole discretion of the instructor. Typically an "I" will be given only when the student: Has completed at least 75% of the class (excluding the final exam) but is unable to complete the class work because of extraordinary, unusual or unforeseen circumstances or other compelling reasons, Has done passing work in the course and, In the instructor's judgment, can complete the required work without repeating the course. Instructors electing to give an "I" will complete an Incomplete Grade Form by the time final course grades are due. This form will specify what the student must do to complete the course requirements. It will specify a date by which the required work must be completed. The Incomplete Grade Form will indicate the grade the student will receive if the assigned work is not completed. Both the student and the instructor will sign the form. Copies will be provided to the Registrar, the student, the instructor and the Division Office. Responsibility for monitoring and grading the "I" work may not be transferred to another instructor without agreement of the faculty involved and the approval of the Academic Dean. The instructor will submit a Grade Change Form to the Registrar when the student has completed the assigned work. All incomplete course work will be finished by the date indicated on the Incomplete Grade From, but not to exceed one calendar year from the end of the semester for which the "I" grade was recorded. If a Grade Change Form is not submitted by the end of one calendar year, the "I" will default to the grade submitted on the Incomplete Grade Form. Each instructor shall include an "I" grade policy consistent with college policy in his/her syllabus.
