Grading Procedures for Graduate Research Credit

 

NUMBER:  Policy II-10-1 (Formerly Policy II-D-3)

 

 

Faculty advisors directing research programs for graduate students have the option of assigning final or progress research (courses numbered 788, 798, or 898) grades each semester during the student’s program.

 

1.                  The Board of Regents authorizes the following grades for Research credits (788, 798, or 898):

S – Satisfactory

NP – Normal Progress

U – Unsatisfactory

2.                  A grade of U or S should be given after every semester of 788, 798, or 898 research.  While the grade of NP is authorized, its use is discouraged and the use of the U or S grade is encouraged.

3.                  For an uncompleted program, a U, S, or NP grade will be given for the last enrollment in 788, 798, or 898 and will stand on the student's transcript until the program is completed.  These grades cannot be used as final grades.
