The unit of credit at the University is the semester hour. Each semester hour represents one class period of a minimum of 50 minutes per week for each week in the semester. Lecture recitation courses require a minimum of one 50-minute class period each week in the semester for every one hour of credit earned. 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.
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. The option is taken at the time the students register for the course. In these cases, students may either change back to the regular grading option or they may drop the courses entirely.
