Faculty Declaration of Participation | Student Records | BYU-Idaho

# Declaration of Participation

Instructors need to indicate whether or not any student who earned an F or a UW grade participated in the course. This requirement assists with BYU-Idaho's compliance with federal financial aid regulations.

## Campus (Face-to-Face) Sections

****Participation Declaration: For each student to whom you assign an "F" or "UW" grade, you will be required to declare if the student participated in this class.**** "Participation" is defined as attending one or more class meetings or completing any work associated with the class. For example, if the student attended the first day of class, the student is deemed to have participated even if the student did not attend or submit any work for the remainder of the term. If the student did not ever attend a class meeting but submitted an assignment, took a quiz or exam, etc., the student is also deemed to have participated. This declaration is necessary for compliance with federal financial aid regulations.

## Online or Academic Start Sections

****Participation Declaration: For each student to whom you assign an "F" or "UW" grade, you will be required to declare if the student participated in this online class.****"Participation" is defined as any activity in the online course other than simply logging into I-Learn. For example, if the student submitted an assignment, took a quiz or exam, posted any comment on a blog or discussion board, participated in a group discussion, etc., the student is deemed to have participated. If the student did not log in or logged in but in no other way contributed or engaged in the class, the student did not participate. This declaration is necessary for compliance with federal financial aid regulations.

On the grade entry portal, when an "F" or a "UW" grade is entered, the Yes/No option will display. Instructors simply need to select the appropriate option before submitting grades.

How to Calculate your GPA | Student Records & Registration | BYU-Idaho

# How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average (GPA)

An interactive online tool to calculate student grade point averages (GPA).

## Calculating Your Major Grade Point Average (GPA)

****Major GPA:**** Separate out your major classes on your transcript and add them to the GPA calculator as usual. You will come up with major grade points and major credits which will equal a major GPA.

****GPA Disclaimer:**** This GPA calculator is not an official representation of your BYU-Idaho GPA. To view your official GPA, go to your unofficial transcript on your student account.

This GPA calculator does not take into account academic retake or renewal policies.

Divide total grade points by the total quality credits. **Example: 35.2 divided by 13.0 credits = 2.71 GPA**

- P (Pass) courses are not factored in the student's GPA
- I (Incompletes) and W (Withdrawls) do not receive grade points and do not have an effect on the GPA
- UW (Unofficial Withdrawals) are calculated into the GPA as a failing grade value (0.0)
- T (Temporary) grades do not factor into the student's GPA
- NR (Not Reported) grades do not factor into the student's GPA
Credit Definitions | Student Records & Registration | BYU-Idaho

****Earn:**** 
The total number of credits earned toward graduation in a semester/session or cumulative basis.

****Pass:**** 
The total number of credits passed toward graduation that do not factor into the semester/session or cumulative GPA.

Incomplete Contracts | Student Records | BYU-Idaho

# Incomplete Contracts

Incomplete contracts, or incomplete grades, are conditional grades granted to students who encountered extenuating circumstances that hindered their classwork during a semester.

An incomplete grade (I) is a conditional grade only granted under the following circumstances:

1. Extenuating circumstances occurred (serious illness, personal injury, death in immediate family, etc.) that hindered class work and occurred after the tenth week of a semester or the fourth week of a block.
2. The student must have a passing grade at the time of petitioning for the incomplete grade. It is not a substitute for a failing grade. Therefore, an incomplete grade should not be granted if the student is failing a class and wants additional time to submit make-up work in order to improve a grade.
3. The student must be able to complete the remaining work on an individual basis with the instructor. Re-enrollment in all or part of the same course during a subsequent semester may not be required as part of the contract. The general length of time to fulfill the requirements of an incomplete contract is one additional semester; however, if circumstances warrant, the instructor may contact Student Records and Registration to extend the length of the contract.
4. Instructor approval is mandatory, and the instructor may choose not to allow an incomplete contract since it requires the instructor to individually work with the student in addition to his or her normal workload.

Students should talk to their instructor about setting up an Incomplete Contract.
Unearned Grades | Student Records & Registration | BYU-Idaho

# Unearned Grades

W Grades

A "W" grade is recorded on your academic transcript when you withdraw from a course after the 22nd day into the semester (or after the 15th day in a block) up until the Withdraw deadline (roughly two thirds the way into the semester), for any reason. To see the exact dates of these deadlines in the current semester, visit Academic Calendar. 

- W grades are NOT calculated into your grade point average (GPA).
- W grades are considered non-progress grades.
- W grades remain on your transcript even if you re-take the class at a later date.
- If you are receiving Federal Financial Aid, you must check with the Financial Aid Office to determine how W grades affect your eligibility.
- If you are retaking a course and withdraw from the class, the "W" grade does NOT replace the previous grade.

UW Grades

A "UW" grade represents an unofficial withdrawal which is given to a student who meets the following criteria: 

1. The student did not complete proper withdrawal procedures from the course (i.e. did not drop the class within the established academic deadlines).
2. The student never participated* in the course or stopped participating before roughly two months into the semester (the deadline for withdrawing from an individual course and receive a "W" grade and not the grade earned).

*Participation includes: (attending class, submitting work, tests, class related assignments, etc.) 
 
UW grades are calculated into the GPA as a failing grade value (0.0).

F Grades

An "F" grade is appropriate when: 

1. The student does not have a record of non-attendance and the student's academic performance warrants a failing grade.
2. The student's record of non-attendance began after the last date to drop a class without receiving the grade earned (To see the exact dates of this deadline in the current semester, visit Academic Calendar.).

F grades are calculated into the GPA as a failing grade value (0.0).
Parent and Guardian Grade Request |Student Records | BYU-Idaho

# Parent/Guardian Grade Request

Policies and guidelines for parents or guardians requesting student grades.

## Policy

Students at BYU-Idaho control access to their educational records under the regulations of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). However, through a FERPA exception, BYU-Idaho does entitle parents/guardians the right to receive academic final grade reports if their student was claimed as a dependent on their most recently submitted tax return.

## Guidelines

1. Parents/guardians of dependent children under the above-described definition must submit a Certificate of Dependence Form in order to receive grade reports. No grade report will be sent to a parent or guardian without proper submission of this form.
2. The parent/guardian is responsible to determine their eligibility under this Act and may be requested to verify such eligibility should a discrepancy arise.
3. The Student Records and Registration Office will record received Certificate of Dependence Form and send grade reports as requested.
4. The Student Records and Registration Office will inform all students of their responsibility to submit an Affidavit of Independent Status to discontinue the dissemination of grades to parents. This will be published in the BYU-Idaho Catalog and on the Student Records and Registration website.
5. Students also may submit a Waiver of Independent Status which authorizes parental access to student grades regardless of the dependency status of a student.
Year-to-Date Credits | Student Records & Registration | BYU-Idaho

# Year-to-Date (YTD) Credits

Plan to complete at least 30 credits of coursework each calendar year.

## Plan Wisely to Complete Your Degree

Students have a stewardship for the sacred resources the Church allocates to provide their education. One way students can be wise stewards is to complete their degree in a timely manner, ensuring that resources are available to as many future students as possible. With this in mind, BYU-Idaho encourages students to successfully complete at least 30 credits toward their degree each calendar year they are enrolled. By completing at least 30 credits each year of enrollment students will graduate in four years for a Bachelor's degree and two years for an Associate's degree. Keeping track of your year-to-date credits will help you finish your degree on the right track.

Year-to-Date Credits Formula

The "credits earned this year" value represents the number of credits you have earned so far in the current calendar year plus the number of credits you are currently registered for in the current term (registered credits for terms that have not yet begun are not included). Use this formula to determine your YTD credits: 

****YEAR-TO-DATE EARNED CREDITS + CURRENT CREDITS = CREDITS EARNED THIS YEAR****
