Unfinished
Course Work
(Ongoing)
Class work unfinished because of extenuating
personal circumstances. A "G" grade is given by an
instructor when class work is unfinished because of
extenuating personal circumstances. When given a
"G" grade, you are usually instructed to complete
some clearly defined work (e.g. a final examination
paper) within a specified period of time. The "G"
must be completed no later than one year after the
term or session in which the class was taken. You
should not request or be given a "G" grade if, in
actuality, you need to repeat the course. See "Course
Repeat" for more information. Once the deadline has
passed, the "G" grade will automatically change to
"NG" and will no longer appear as “in progress” on a
student record. The "NG" grade will remain on the
record and the student will be required to re-register
for the course if it is needed to fulfill requirements for
graduation.

offering the course. If approved, a grade of "W" will
be recorded on your transcript for that course. "W"
