I	Incomplete. This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work but, for non-academic reasons beyond the student's control, was unable to meet the full requirements of the course. If an I is not satisfactorily removed within one semester, the symbol I will be changed to the grade F by the appropriate official. Under special circumstances, this period of time can be increased with the approval of the program coordinator and the dean of the appropriate school.
IP	In Progress. This symbol is appropriate for thesis hours and project courses. If an IP grade isn't satisfactorily removed after three semesters, the symbol of IP will be changed to the grade of F by the appropriate university official. Under special circumstances, this period of time can be increased with the approval of the dean.
W	Withdrew Passing. This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw without a penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the mid-point of the total grading period except in cases of hardship as determined by the appropriate office of the respective institution.
V	Audit. This symbol indicates that a student was given permission to audit this course. Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa.
