Students who audit a course are given an N grade.
A Grade Option/Audit Request form must be submitted for undergraduate courses by the established deadline. To audit a course, a student must register and pay tuition for the course. (See Monitored Withdrawal from a Course for more information.) Auditing a Course The W grade signifies that a student has withdrawn from a course. (See Resigning from the University for more information.) W Grade The R grade signifies that a student resigned from the University for the term. The I grade signifies incomplete course work due to the nature of the course, clinical work, or incomplete research work in individual guidance courses or seminars. Once the deadline has passed, the G grade will remain on the record, and the student will be required to reregister for the course if it is needed to fulfill requirements for graduation. Some schools have a shorter deadline for completion of G grades see school for details. Students assigned G grades are required to complete course requirements no later than one year after the term or session in which the course was taken. The G grade signifies unfinished course work due to extenuating personal circumstances. None of these grades carries quality points: G Grade Upon a student’s completion of a course, one of the grades listed below may appear on the student’s transcript in lieu of one of the options selected by the student and/or instructor (the options are listed under Grading Options). Other Grades: Incomplete, Resign, Withdraw Courses in which an NC is received are counted toward neither graduation nor the GPA. Courses for which an S is received are counted toward graduation, but are not computed in the GPA. If the student’s work is not satisfactory (a grade of C- or lower), the grade of NC (No Credit) is given. Under this option, a student who does satisfactory work (a grade of C or better) in a course receives the grade of S. This option was designed to encourage students to explore new and potentially difficult subjects without fear of the risks of failure. S/NC Grade Option (Formerly the S/N Option)Ĭertain courses are offered on the S/NC (Satisfactory/No-Credit) grade option. The U grade is counted toward neither graduation nor the GPA. The H and S grades received under this option are counted toward graduation but are not computed in the student’s GPA. Under this option, students earn an H if they do exceptional work (equivalent to an A- or higher under the letter grade system), an S if they do satisfactory work (equivalent to grades from a C up to a B+), or a U if they do unsatisfactory work (equivalent to a C- or lower). The University’s letter grade system identified below will be followed without exception: GradeĬertain courses are offered on the H/S/U (Honors/Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) grade option. If the student does not fill out a Grade Option/Audit Request form for a course in which more than one grade option is available, the default option (generally the letter grade option) will automatically apply. Students may select a grade option for those courses that offer more than one option by submitting a Grade Option/Audit Request form by the established deadline to the school offering the course (generally four weeks from the start of the term, but check with the school for specific deadlines). Letter grade and Honors/Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Satisfactory/No-Credit (Formerly the S/N Option) Individual schools may elect to offer a course with the following grade options: LG Students must complete Grade Option/Audit Request forms to request a grading option available in a particular course. Finally, undergraduate students may choose to audit a course. Some additional grading options are available in some courses as determined by the school and the instructor (see Grading Options below). The University of Pittsburgh has a standard letter grade system (see Letter Grade Option). Some academic centers may also maintain degree and/or major/departmental GPA values. The value is the average of total letter grades earned and is available by term or career. Undergraduates must have a 2.00 GPA in order to graduate from the University of Pittsburgh. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is the numeric indication of a student’s academic achievement based on a 4.00 grade point scale.
