Incomplete grades and transcript notations
An "I" (Incomplete) grade may be issued only when the incomplete work was assigned in the last 20% of the semester or session, the remaining work does not require formal instructor assistance, and the student notifies the instructor before the final examination that more time is needed. An "I" grade must be removed before the end of the ninth week of classes in the next semester, or a failing grade is recorded for the course (an exception is made if a lab course requires a special set-up).
Final grades that have no effect on GPA: "I" Incomplete, "L" Listener (audit), "R" Released (pass), "W" Withdrawal, "Z" Not Released. A grade followed by "H" designates an honors course; by "R" designates academic restart; by "^" designates a 090- to 099-level course, and courses numbered 099 do not count toward graduation requirements.

Repeated courses
When a student repeats a course, the GPA is recalculated based on the student's latest grade in that course; this does not apply when the grade received is a "W". On the transcript, an "I" in the Final Column (R) indicates a repeated course whose grade is included in the GPA calculation, and an "E" indicates a repeated course whose grade is excluded from the GPA calculation.
