Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

Satisfactory

The “S” (Satisfactory) grade indicates that credit has been given for completion of degree requirements other than academic coursework. In graduate programs, this symbol may be used for clinical practicums and internships.

When an “S” (Satisfactory) grade is earned for courses in which credit toward graduation is received, the credit will be counted, but there will be no quality points given. The institutional grade average will thus be determined by the total quality points for those courses in which “A” through “F” grades were given divided by the number of credit hours in which those grades were given.

Unsatisfactory

The “U” (Unsatisfactory) grade indicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete degree requirements other than academic coursework. In graduate programs, this symbol may be used for clinical practicums and internships.
