Grading System

Grades at Mesa State College are as follows:


A = Excellent to superior
B = Good to excellent

C

= Satisfactory
D = Passing but not satisfactory
F = Fail
I = Incomplete
IP = In Progress
W = Withdraw
NC = No credit
P = Pass


Incomplete ("I") grades are temporary grades given to a student only in an emergency case and at the discretion of the instructor.

At the end of the semester following the one in which an "I" is given, the "I" becomes the grade that is submitted by the instructor to the Registrar's Office. If the instructor does not submit a grade by the deadline for that semester, the grade becomes an "F." A grade of "I" given spring semester must be addressed by the end of the following fall term.


Extension of the time to complete work may be made in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the
instructor. A student with an "I" grade, however, may not change the "I" by enrolling in the same course another
semester.
