In-Progress Grades
9An instructor may assign a temporary IP (in progress) grade when an unavoidable problem in a selected course prevents the issuance of a grade, such as a student who is unable to complete enough direct contact hours in a practicum and has not completed practicum or internship-related coursework despite his or her best efforts. This option is utilized sparingly at the instructor’s discretion, not in response to a student’s request.
Please note that the IP option is used only for the following courses and does not count toward academic credit:
For the School of Counseling only, an instructor may assign a temporary X grade when a student has completed all assignments but lacks the appropriate clinical hours necessary for the course. This grade gives the student academic credit for the course. This option is utilized sparingly at the instructor’s discretion, not in response to a student’s request.
An IP or X grade is not the same as an I (Incomplete). Incompletes may be requested by students who are experiencing unforeseen challenges that prevent them from completing their coursework. Grade changes for IPs must be submitted by the professor by the day grades are due during the following academic term, or they will be changed to Fs.
