Please refer to the Class Schedule online under Web Registration Deadlines for specific deadline dates at: www.uco.edu/registrar/admit/enrollinfo.asp Drops Pre-Semester Drops: Students may drop a class before the first day of the semester either at the Enrollment Management Office or online. No records of courses dropped before the start of the semester will appear on transcripts. There are no financial penalties for such drops. Early Semester Drops: As long as they do not withdraw from all classes, students may drop classes before the end of the second week of the fall or spring semesters by completing the appropriate forms either at the Enrollment Management Office or online. No record of courses will show on transcripts. There are no financial penalties for such drops. Late Semester Drops with Permission: As long as the student does not withdraw from all classes, students may under unusual circumstances, as defined by the university, drop classes after the end of the second week of classes of the fall and spring semesters. Examples of unusual circumstances include emergencies, hospitalization, military deployments, and moving to out-of-state jobs.

University of Central Oklahoma Graduate Catalog, 2012 - 2013 Acad. Regulations & Graduation Requirements Grading System cont’d - Acad. Probation & Suspension Note: For the purpose of calculating grade point average (GPA) UCO converts grades listed on the transcripts of other institutions to UCO’s 4.0 grading scale. UCO does not recognize “plus” or “minus” grades, so, for example, transferred grades of B+ or B- would be recorded at UCO as B with a point value of 3.0. SYMBOLS USED TO INDICATE COURSE STATUS Symbol Note Symbol Note I INCOMPLETE W WITHDRAWAL AW ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL N GRADE NOT REPORTED AUD AUDIT X THESIS IN PROGRESS P Passing - given for workshops, student teaching, physical education activity courses, and extrainstitutional credits. S Satisfactory - given for 0-level (non-collegiate/developmental) courses. U Unsatisfactory - given for 0-level (non-collegiate/developmental) and physical education activity courses and indicates the student’s level of understanding is not sufficient to take the next level of course work. I Incomplete - given at the instructor’s discretion to indicate that additional work is necessary to complete a course. It is not a substitute for an “F” grade and no student may be failing a course at the time an “I” grade is awarded. To receive an “I” grade, the student should have satisfactorily completed a substantial portion of the required course work for the semester. Students have one year to resolve incomplete grades. In extenuating circumstances, the instructor may grant exceptions. “I” grades not changed by the instructor to a letter grade, within one year, will remain as a permanent “I” and not contribute to the student’s GPA. “F” grades cannot be changed to “I” grades. W Withdrawal - given when a student initiates a withdrawal by the established procedures and deadlines. N Not Reported - given when an instructor fails to submit grades by the established deadline. AUDIT—given when students formally audit classes. AUD-U—given when a student enrolled for audit but did not meet the instructor’s attendance and/or participation requirements for auditors. X Thesis in Progress Grade Appeals In cases where graduate students wish to appeal a final grade, they must follow the Academic Appeal Policy located online under the UCO Academic Affairs Website at: http://www.uco.edu/academic-affairs/students/grade-appeals.asp. Prerequisites and Corequisites A prerequisite is a course, skill, or knowledge required to be completed PRIOR to taking another course. Prerequisites are established for courses requiring a specific background knowledge or skill level for successful completion. Many courses have more than one prerequisite. Corequisites are complementary courses which require concurrent enrollment and which together comprise a body of knowledge or skills for the student. Prerequisites and corequisites are established for the benefit of students. Insufficient background knowledge is an obstacle to success and often results in frustration, lower grades, and withdrawal. Meeting prerequisites and corequisites is the responsibility of the student. (Exceptions must be cleared by the appropriate department or instructor.) Prerequisites and corequisites are listed in the catalog and on the Web class listings. Some prerequisites may be taken concurrently, and are listed as such in the course descriptions. Students who pre-enroll in a course which requires a prerequisite or corequisite in which the student is currently enrolled may be dropped from that course by the university if they subsequently fail or drop the prerequisite/corequisite course. Repeating Courses If a graduate course is repeated to enhance the grade, both grades will be used in calculating the graduate grade point average. No course may be counted toward more than one degree unless the transfer of these courses to UCO falls under a Memorandum of Understanding and/or a Transfer Agreement between UCO and another institution. See”Transfer Credit.” Academic Probation and Suspension Graduate students must maintain an overall graduate grade point average of 3.00 or higher to remain in “good academic standing” with the University and the Jackson College of Graduate Studies. A. Academic Probation 1. A student, regardless of admission status, will be placed on academic probation if: a. The student has completed nine graduate hours; and b. The student’s cumulative graduate grade point average (GPA) falls below 3.00. 2. While a student is on academic probation, the student may not enroll in more than ten (10) graduate credit hours in regular semesters and six (6) graduate credit hours in the summer semester. B. Academic Suspension 1. A student will be placed on academic suspension if: a. the student fails to achieve a minimum graduate GPA of 3.00 in any semester while on probation or b. the student’s cumulative graduate GPA falls below 2.00 in any semester. 2. A suspended student may not take graduate courses for at least 16 weeks while awaiting adjudication from the Graduate Council. C. Readmission After Suspension 1. A student who wishes to be considered for readmission must submit a written appeal for readmission to 21
