No Credit

A grade of No Credit (NC) may be assigned by the instructor of record when a student has participated in at least fifty-one per cent (51%) of a term/course. However, any subsequent change of the NC to a letter grade may only take place within one calendar year after the end of the term in which the course was originally offered and with the following criteria:

• Student was unable to complete the course requirements due to extreme circumstances beyond the student's control (death in the family, etc.) The NC can also be applied to students approved for an ADA Disability Accommodation dealing with automatic time extensions past regular assignment deadlines that include the need for extended time beyond the end-of-the-term after verification of the accommodation with the Disabilities Services Coordinator.
• Sole responsibility to successfully complete and submit remaining class requirements for evaluation by the instructor of record belongs to the student.
• An "NC" means that the student has committed to finishing course requirements within one year after the completion of the term and has provided rationale in writing to the instructor prior to the end of the term in which they were enrolled.
• For a grade of "NC" to be changed to a letter grade the student must successfully complete all course requirements as determined by the instructor of record.
• If the grade of "NC" is not changed by the instructor of record within the one year deadline, then the grade of "NC" will become a permanent part of the student's academic record.
