Plus-Minus Grading System

See the Graduate School’s information about the Plus-Minus Grading System.

Q/F Drops

Graduate students may Q/F drop from the twelfth class day until the last class day. Graduate students may request a Q/F drop form from the Graduate Program Coordinator.

Undergraduate Students

The minimum grade for an ARC, ARI, or CRP course to count toward a student’s degree is a C.

Q-Drop Deadline for Undergraduates

Undergraduate students may Q-drop a course from the twelfth class day until early November for fall or early April for a spring semester. Students may request a Q-drop form from an undergraduate academic advisor.

Absence/Failing Reports

Faculty should notify students of excessive absences or poor performance online via "Absence-Failing" notice provided for that purpose, preferably between the 20th and 40th class day of the semester. Absence/failing reports significantly reduce registration errors and ease academic advising for subsequent semesters. An instructor of record (or proxy) may submit the absence/failing report directly from CLIPs.
