9. EO 1037: Policy Effective Fall 2009: Grading Symbols AU: Audit. Enrollment as an auditor is subject to permission of the instructor provided that enrollment in a course as an auditor shall be permitted only after students otherwise eligible to enroll on a credit basis have had an opportunity to do so. Auditors are subject to the same fee structure as credit students and regular class attendance is expected. I: Incomplete. The “I” symbol indicates that a portion of the required coursework has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period, due to unforeseen, but fully justified reasons and that there is still a possibility of earning credit. In the event that the course requirements are not completed by the deadline, the “I’ will be converted to an “IC” or grade without further work. The “IC” is counted as a failing grade for grade point average and progress point computations.

10. EO 1037: Policy Effective Fall 2009: Grading Symbols IC: Incomplete Charged. The “IC” symbol may be used when a student who received an authorized incomplete “I” has not completed the required course work within the allowed time limit. The “IC” replaces the “I” and is counted as a failing grade for grade point average and progress point computation. RD: Report Delayed. The “RD” symbol may be used where a delay in the reporting of a grade is due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. RP: Report in Progress. The “RP” symbol shall be used in connection with thesis, project, and similar courses in which assigned work frequently extends beyond a single academic term and may include enrollment in more than one term.

11. Withdrawals Effective Fall 2009: 1. Undergraduate students may withdraw from no more than 18 semester-units. 2. Campuses may elect to be more restrictive on withdrawals than the maxima listed above. 3. The limits apply only to units attempted at the campus.
