In addition, the following marks may be used on an academic record:

CR (Credit)--Grades of "CR" meet the passing standard for the course, but are not calculated in the GPA.
I (Incomplete)--Incomplete courses must be completed by the end of the next semester or the grade earned will be recorded.
NC (No Credit)--Grades of "NC" do not meet the passing standard for the course, but are not calculated in the GPA. NC grades do count in the completion rate for financial aid purposes.
P (Passing)--Grades of “P” meet a 2.0 GPA standard, but are not calculated in the GPA.
R (Repeat)--Although the most recent grade is calculated in the GPA, all entries remain part of permanent record.
W (Withdrawn)--Grades of “W” are not calculated in the GPA, but they do count in the completion rate for financial aid purposes. Withdrawals are noted as W on transcripts after the census date.
AU (Audit)--A grade of “AU” is not calculated in GPA.

Grades are available on the student portal after they have been posted. Grades are due by the Tuesday following finals week. Students who need a printed report may request a copy from the Office of the Registrar.
