Graduate Catalog 2024-2025

In Progress

Assigning an In-Progress grade “IP” is at the discretion of an instructor with the approval by the Dean of the college. Failure to remove the “IP” by the end of the next term will result in an “F.”

A grade of “IP” (in progress) may be used in a limited number of courses approved by the Dean of each college for a candidate who initiates coursework which cannot be completed during the semester because of specific circumstances, such as failure to pass the predictor exam, unavoidable delay in completing required practicum hours, or other situation specific to course progression.

The procedures for using the IP grade are as follows:

  • The candidate and instructor meet and decide to initiate a request for an “IP” grade.
  • The candidate fully completes the candidate section of the IP grade form and submits the form to the course instructor.
  • The instructor signs the IP grade form and forwards it to the Dean the college no later than the last day of classes for that term.
  • The Dean makes the final determination if the request is granted and will forward approved requests to the Registrar and instructor. Requests not approved by the Dean will be returned to the instructor who will notify the candidate and then assign an appropriate grade.
