Each semester hour represents one class period of a minimum of 50 minutes per week for each week in the semester. Each school determines its own grading system. Students will be graded according to the grading system of the school in which they are registered, not according to the grading system of the school through which the course is taught. See those sections below for more information. The grading systems used by various schools are detailed in subsequent chapters.
Some schools have time limits for the removal of incompletes.
Students should consult with their dean's office concerning the length of time an incomplete may remain on their records. No grade may be changed after it has been submitted to the university registrar without the approval of the dean. The dean is not authorized by the faculty to change a grade submitted to the university registrar except when an instructor certifies that, because of an error in calculation or in transcription, an incorrect grade has been submitted. This option is selected when the student registers for the course. If this occurs, students may either change back to the regular grading option or drop the course entirely.
