IP (In Progress) - Awarded to students who have contracted with the course instructor to complete course requirements by an agreed date, or at the latest, by the 7th week after semester ends. If the requirements are not completed by the agreed date or by that time, the "IP" will be changed to an "F". It is the responsibility of the student to initiate contact with the instructor toward the end of a semester to request an "IP Contract." An "IP Contract" form must be filled out by both student and faculty member and each party must keep a copy.
W ( Withdraw) - Formal withdrawal from the course by the end of the 12th week of classes or by the end of the 4th week of summer session; no credit is given and the student must retake the entire course to receive credit. The withdrawal date for courses that run on an alternative schedule should be confirmed with the Instructor or the Enrollment Center.
