When extenuating circumstances warrant, The Graduate School may grant a student a time extension to complete a course and replace a temporary grade. Exception requests should be directed to The Graduate School. Faculty advisors and instructors should set clear expectations and use the permanent HPLF graduate grading scale for reflecting academic progress on research in a given term. Temporary grades are not available as a graduate grade in thesis and dissertation research courses (992/993/994). Failure to remove temporary grades by the last day of classes of the term in which a student plans to graduate will prevent graduation. Temporary GradesĪ temporary grade of IN, AB and NR converts to F* unless the grade is replaced with a permanent grade by the last day of classes for the same term one year later. Receiving a grade of XF results in the student becoming academically ineligible to continue in The Graduate School. Should a faculty member need to assign a NG grade, please contact the Registrar's Office, Records Section or the Office of Student Conduct.Ī grade of XF indicates an Honor Court sanction of a failing grade in a course. The symbol of NG is recorded for pending Honor Court situations.

Faculty and instructors should use the permanent HPLF graduate grading scale for all graduate level courses. * Effective Fall 2013, the S grade was no longer available as a permanent graduate grade. Receiving a grade of F* results in the student becoming academically ineligible to continue in The Graduate School.

Grading at the graduate level is intended to offer feedback to students on their performance in a given course, including once students reach the thesis and dissertation stage. Graduate students do not carry a numerical GPA. The graduate grading scale in use at UNC-Chapel Hill is unique in that it cannot be converted to the more traditional ABC grading scale. All master's and doctoral programs administered through The Graduate School operate under the same grading system.
