PROPOSAL 28-04

ADDITIONAL GRADES OF 'E*' AND 'U*' INDICATING ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Recommendation
Additional grades of 'E*' and 'U*' indicating Academic Dishonesty

Grade Symbol Description Grade Points per Credit (GPA calc) Academic Credit Repeat Applicable Renewal Indicator Applicable Definition
E* Effort Unsatisfactory due to Academic Dishonesty N/A No Yes Yes Indicates Effort Unsatisfactory due to academic dishonesty in a pass/fail course. Can only be administratively changed to E by the Registrar or their designee if authorized by Office of Student Affairs when established requirements for the particular individual are satisfactorily met.
U* Unsatisfactory Audit due to Academic Dishonesty N/A No No Yes Indicates Unsatisfactory due to academic dishonesty for a course taken as audit. Can only be administratively changed to U by the Registrar or their designee if authorized by Office of Student Affairs when established requirements for the particular individual are satisfactorily met.

Rationale
Currently the F* grade is assigned in a case of academic dishonesty. For courses taken for audit or pass/fail there is no way to indicate academic dishonesty - the E* and U* grades would cover those situations.
