Grades Submitted Late

Grades not turned in by the deadline will result in grades "NR" being sent to the student.  Late grades may also result in a student not being allowed to return for the next semester, not being allowed to compete in intercollegiate athletics, or not being able to receive financial aid.  We will notify students with the grades of any late rosters, but that will not occur for 2-3 weeks after the end of the term.  To save yourself phone calls from concerned students, parents, and school recorders, please get your grades in on time.

FN, FNN, and F Grading

In compliance with University Faculty Council Policy (FN Non-Attendance, March 1999), instructors are required to differentiate between students who fail a class because they never attended or stopped attending from those who failed the class due to poor academic performance.

FN – The grade of FN should be given to students who stopped attending the class. This grade requires a last date of attendance or participation to be entered into the "Last Date Attend" field. An approximate date is acceptable if a precise date is not available. The date must be within the term in question. The FN grade has the same impact as an F and appears notated as F to students on the official transcript. Use of the FN grade to document an apparent withdrawal due to lack of attendance or participation is a federal reporting requirement for financial aid under Title IV.

FNN – The grade of FNN should be given to students who never attended the class. There is no need to record a last date of attendance or participation for the FNN grade. The FNN grade has the same impact as an F and appears notated as F to students on the official transcript. Use of the FNN grade to document an apparent withdrawal due to no attendance or participation is a federal reporting requirement for financial aid under Title IV.

F – The grade of F remains the grade to indicate failure due to poor academic performance.

I to F Grade Lapse

All Incomplete grades are automatically converted to F’s one calendar year after the Incomplete was recorded. Students receiving an Incomplete grade in a course should not register for the course a second time.

Remember that if a student is attending your class to complete a previous grade of Incomplete, the student's name will not appear on you roster.  In order to award the grade you will need to submit a Removal of Incomplete form to the Office of the Registrar.

If you are assigning an Incomplete, be sure to give your department any necessary information on the work the student must finish.  This is usually done by completing a card and turning it in to the department.  Check with your department or school for more information.
