Other Grades:

"I" - Incomplete:

The incomplete is designed for passing students with extenuating circumstances to allow them to complete the course requirements after the semester or session has ended. You may receive an "I" if, in the opinion of the instructor, your work is sufficient in quality but is lacking in quantity to meet the course objectives specified in the course syllabus. The course objectives must be satisfactorily completed during the next full-length semester or within a shorter period of time as designated by the instructor. If you have not finished the course within the designated time period, the "I" will remain permanently on your transcript. You will then have to register and repeat the course to receive a grade and credit for degree purposes. The grade of "I" is not awarded to students who did not attend or seldom attended, or to those who simply are not pleased with their final grades. An "I" grade may be changed only upon the written request of the instructor who awarded the Incomplete.

"P/ F" - Pass/ Fail:

JCC may assign this option to classes. You may not elect the option for any other classes. No honor points will be awarded and the credits will not be used in computing the GPA. You are limited to two classes with a grade of P for graduation purposes. Grades of P rarely transfer to other colleges.

"W" - Withdraw:

A grade of W (withdraw) is recorded on the academic record but is not calculated in the grade point average. After the withdraw period for the semester ends, a request to withdraw cannot be honored and the class instructor is required to assign a grade. That grade is used in calculating grade point average.

"Y" - Audit:

If you wish to attend class without receiving a grade or credit, you must register for an audit. The audit option must be selected at registration or by the end of the add/drop period and you must pay tuition and fees for the class. A transcript record will be kept for all audited classes with a grade of Y. Credit for audit classes will not be granted at a later date.
