Two other grades may be assigned as noted:

1.  "P" Pass: credits are earned which are not computed into the student's GPA.

2.  "I" Incomplete:  This is a temporary grade which indicates that the student has, for an approved reason, not completed all required course work by the end of the semester and has the possibility to pass the course when all requirements are completed.  If the work is not completed by the end of the first week of the next semester, (Fall, Spring, or Summer), and unless an extension is granted for exceptional reasons approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the "I" grade becomes "WF."

   1. Dean's List: Students with a semester GPA of 3.50 to 4.00.

   2. Honors List: Students with a semester GPA of 3.00 to 3.49.
