Grading for a Two-Term Course (Y)

A few courses (e.g., senior Honors thesis courses or some Biological Sciences research courses) are approved as "two-term" sequences (approval has to be granted by the LSA Curriculum Committee). In these specially approved cases only, an instructor can report a Y grade at the end of the first-term course to indicate work in progress. When a final grade is reported at the end of the second term, that final grade is posted for both terms' elections. In cases where a Y grade is reported for a course which is not approved to extend for two successive terms, an I (Incomplete) is posted on the transcript and the course is subject to the regular deadline for incompletes. Students needing more time to complete this work must petition the Academic Standards Board for an official extension of the deadline (see below).
