Provisional Grades<br />
Provisional Grade Policy<br />
Graduating students must earn provisional grades for all GSB courses in the quarter they are<br />
graduating. <strong>The</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> Student Records and Systems will request provisional grades from<br />
faculty on behalf <strong>of</strong> students graduating from all programs. Below is information about<br />
provisional grades; please read this information carefully.<br />
Registration/Review <strong>of</strong> Syllabi<br />
• Some pr<strong>of</strong>essors may not give provisional grades. For example, provisional grades<br />
are not given in Business 30000. Students enrolled in those courses must defer<br />
graduation to the following quarter.<br />
• Students should familiarize themselves with pr<strong>of</strong>essors’ provisional grade policies<br />
by reviewing the online course descriptions, syllabi, and the quarterly Supplement to<br />
the Curriculum Guide prior to bidding.<br />
• If a faculty member does not have written specifications regarding his/her<br />
provisional grades policies, it is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the student to inquire directly.<br />
Academic Performance<br />
• Faculty are asked to confirm that, based upon course work to date, the student will<br />
complete the course and earn a passing final grade.<br />
• A provisional grade is not a final grade.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> receipt <strong>of</strong> provisional grades does not mean a student should stop attending<br />
classes. Students must complete all course work, per pr<strong>of</strong>essors’ requirements<br />
outlined in the syllabi.<br />
If a student receives a passing provisional grade and subsequently earns a final grade <strong>of</strong> F in<br />
any course, <strong>Chicago</strong> GSB will request that the student’s degree be revoked and a hold placed<br />
on the student’s transcript. <strong>The</strong> student must enroll in, pay for, and satisfactorily complete an<br />
additional course.<br />
Failure to Receive a Provisional Grade<br />
If a pr<strong>of</strong>essor is unable to submit a provisional grade for a student, he/she will have to delay<br />
graduation by one quarter and complete the degree requirements in one <strong>of</strong> two ways:<br />
1. Complete the course and earn final passing grade; no further course registration is<br />
necessary.<br />
2. Complete the course. If a failing grade is earned, the student must enroll in, pay for,<br />
and satisfactorily complete another course in the subsequent quarter.<br />
Posting Provisional Grades<br />
Provisional grades do not appear on a student’s <strong>of</strong>ficial transcript, nor are they viewable<br />
online.<br />
