Egrotat Standing (AEG)

A grade of AEG is a transcript notation, accompanied by a final letter grade, authorized by the Dean or equivalent in situations when a student has been unable to complete their course work or write a final examination due to documented illness or personal circumstance but who has achieved an overall satisfactory standing in the course.

Audit (AU)

Students may be permitted to audit a course upon approval from the Dean or designate. An auditing student does not participate in assignments or examinations and no credit is awarded for the course. Participation in other activities is at the discretion of the instructor. Permission to audit a course is dependent upon the class size and other factors that the instructor and the Dean or designate establish. Once a course has been audited, the course is not open to course challenge and will not be considered for meeting admission, prerequisite or course requirements. Audited courses are limited to a maximum of one per degree program, unless approved by the Dean and Registrar.

Authorized Withdrawal (AW)

Student withdrew from module or course upon approval by program or school on medical or compassionate grounds.

Credit Granted (CR)

A CR indicates that credit has been granted for a course. This grade is used primarily for Pass/Fail courses.

Extension Granted (EG)

A student may be granted an extension for completion of the requirements of a course due to unanticipated and/or extenuating circumstances. This is a temporary grade and must be accompanied by an extension deadline date. The new deadline date must be forwarded by the School Director (or faculty designate) to the Registrar's Office. Failure by the student to complete the requirements of the course by the deadline will result in a grade of F.

Enrolled (EN)

An EN indicates that the student is enrolled in the course and grades for the course have not yet been assigned.

Fail (F)

This grade is used when a student has not met the minimum course requirements (including, when specified, successfully completing a final exam or assignment), has not fully met the course attendance and/or participation requirements, or has not successfully cleared an INC or EG grade within the designated time deadline.

Incomplete (INC)

INC is a temporary grade that is assigned when the required course work has not been completed by the course end date or to the satisfaction of the instructor. This is used only when a student's performance has been satisfactory and successful completion of the remaining assignments or final examination would enable the student to pass. A maximum grade achievable on completion of the requirements is a "D" for undergraduate and a "B-" for graduate courses. To cover additional grading costs, students will be assessed a fee in accordance with the University's approved ancillary fees. If the outstanding course work is not completed satisfactorily within 20 working days of the course end date, a student will automatically receive a grade of F.

On Leave (LV)

An LV is assigned when a student has been granted On Leave status.

Required to Withdraw (RW)

This grade is used exclusively when a student has been required to withdraw or has withdrawn after the half-way point of a course.

Transfer (TR)

A TR grade is assigned when further course work in the form of a re-enrolment is required due to the design of the course. Once the student has completed the additional enrolment, the TR grade will remain on the original enrolment and a final grade assigned to the last enrolment.

Voluntary Withdrawal (VW)

A VW grade is assigned if a student voluntarily withdraws, which may be done up to the half-way point of a course.
