The mark of CO may be assigned as an interim mark for those courses that run over more than one grade reporting period. Changes in registration status from audit to credit or from credit to audit will not be approved after the last day of add/drop registration.Ĭourses assigned the AU mark will not be computed into the GPA and do not result in earned credit hours. Students may register for audit only during add/drop and late registration periods as a new registration and not as a change from credit to audit. Courses taken for audit, however, do not satisfy minimum enrollment requirements for students receiving graduate teaching or research assistantships, graduate fellowships or university graduate scholarships. An audit course is counted as part of the student’s semester load in terms of classification as a full-time student. Audit students are charged the regular rate of tuition and fees. Students who register on an audit basis may be administratively withdrawn by instructors for a violation of class requirements for audit students, before or after the normal withdrawal deadline as posted on the VCU Academic Calendar. Students who register on an audit basis are subject to attendance regulations of that class and, unless otherwise specified, at the discretion of the instructor, are subject to the same course requirements as other students in the class. Auditing a course means students enroll in a course but do not receive academic credit upon completion of the course. Mark of audit (AU)Ĭlass size permitting, students may register for courses on an audit basis. A grade of S or U is not included in the calculation of the GPA. Future satisfactory performance following a grade of U is reflected in the assignment of the grade of S in subsequent semesters. A grade of U is a permanent grade and associated credits do not count toward a degree. Receipt of the grade of U is formal notification of unsatisfactory progress. Receipt of the grade of S is formal notification to the student of satisfactory progress. Grades of satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (U) The grade of PR is not included in the calculation of the GPA. Unlike the mark of I, PR will not automatically be changed to a failing grade at the end of the succeeding semester. The mark of PR may be assigned only in courses approved for such grading. (See additional information on PP and PS grades in the pass/fail grade policy for undergraduate students below.) Grade of progress (PR) The grade of P, PP or PS is not included in the calculation of the GPA. The grade of PP results from the conversion of a letter grade of A-C the grade of PS results from the conversion of a letter grade of D. This grade is awarded for certain courses to denote satisfactory completion of requirements. Further explanation of grades/marks above Grade of pass (P, PP or PS) Grades designated by a blank, (_), in the grade-point column are not considered in the computation of grade points earned or GPA. GPA Grade letterĪdministrative grade assigned when no grade is submitted by the instructor For example, a student who receives an A (four grade points) in a three-credit course earns 12 grade points. The number of grade points earned is computed by multiplying the grade-point value for the letter grade times the number of semester credits for the course. The scale used is known as a four-point grading system since 4.0 is the highest grade point assigned. Each letter is assigned a grade-point value. Grades are assigned according to a letter system. VCU course work is measured both in terms of quantity (semester hours of credit) and quality (grades). Pass/fail grade policy for undergraduate students.Further explanation of grades/marks above.
