Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grading, ABX, Incomplete, and In Progress

Some courses are offered only on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis; this option is stated in course descriptions. Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Education, School of Business, and School of Music may also elect S/U grading in certain courses. Hours earned with a grade of S count toward graduation but do not affect the cumulative GPA; a grade of U earns no hours and carries no GPA penalty. The S/U option must be declared no later than the end of the drop/add period and cannot be changed afterward; courses originally taken for a letter grade may not be repeated on an S/U basis.

ABX/ABXSU (absence from the final examination for a valid, excused reason) requires a makeup examination no later than mid-term of the next semester, or the grade converts to F (ABXSU converts to U).

IC/ICSU (incomplete) coursework must be finished by mid-term of the following fall or spring semester for a full fall/spring semester or summer session (or, for eight-week sessions, by the end of the next eight-week session), or the grade converts to F (ICSU converts to U); graduate IC coursework must be completed within 12 months of assignment or converts to F.

IP (in progress) is assigned only for courses requiring work beyond the end of the semester, with the dean's office's approval, and converts to F if not completed within 12 months.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at Mercer University?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
