Grades are assigned to report student academic achievement. Instructors use sound judgment and fair methods in determining grades. They inform their students at the beginning of the semester about the course requirements and evaluation criteria. Any time students are unsure of their progress, they should talk to their course instructor. Instructors submit grades to the Academic Advising/ Registration/Records Office at the end of the semester. The following grades and corresponding grade points are used at Nicolet College:
Grade (Grade Points)
A (4.00)
A- (3.67)
B+ (3.33)
B (3.00)
B- (2.67)
C+ (2.33)
C (2.00)
C- (1.67)
D+ (1.33)
D (1.00)
D- (0.67)
F (0.00)S = Advanced Standing
AU = Audit
I = Incomplete
S = Satisfactory
T = Transfer Credit
U = Unsatisfactory
W = Withdrawn
Grades of "S" or "U" are assigned only in Community Education courses and/or in special circumstances requiring the approval of the vice president of instruction.
Grade points and grade point averages (GPA) are used for many purposes:
The GPA is computed by multiplying the point value by the number of credits and dividing the total points by the total number of credits, e.g.:
5 Credits of "A" = 5 x 4 = 20
10 Credits of "B-" = 10 x 2.67 = 26.7
5 Credits of "D+" = 5 x 1.33 = 6.65
20 Total Credits = 53.35 Total Points
divided by 20 Credits = 2.67 GPA
The GPA calculation for financial aid recipients is computed on all courses undertaken. "I" and "W" marks received and recorded are considered in the computation of a GPA only when the GPA is utilized to determine a student's financial aid standing. (Refer to the Academic Standards of Progress policy.)
A student's cumulative GPA is calculated using all courses taken at Nicolet College regardless of the year in which the courses were taken. Grades received at other higher education institutions are not used.
Under extenuating circumstances, students may request an incomplete grade.
To receive an Incomplete, students must have completed 50% of the coursework. It is up to the instructor to decide if the request is feasible based on the reason for the request, the type of class, and whether or not it is possible for the student to complete the course work in an acceptable method and time frame. The deadline for a student to request an Incomplete is seven calendar days prior to the end of the semester. An Incomplete grade can be carried for only one semester (summer session does not count as a semester). If a grade is not issued by the completion of the following semester, a grade of "F" will automatically be recorded by the Records Office. Once given, the Incomplete grade cannot be changed to a Withdrawal grade.
To help students make sound decisions regarding dropping classes, the following procedure must be followed by all instructors:
In week twelve of the Fall and Spring semester and in week 6 of the Summer session, faculty will send written notices to their failing students alerting them to their grade status. The Failing Notification Letter can be handed to the student by the instructor or mailed. A copy of the letter will be sent to the Retention Specialist.
