The University Senate of
Michigan Technological University
PROPOSAL 26-05
(Voting Units:
Academic Senators)
CHANGE TO PROPOSAL 28-04
ADDITIONAL GRADES OF 'E*' AND 'U*'
INDICATING ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Background: E* and U* grades are administered differently
than the F* grade. For the F* grade, a
student is typically assigned an F for a course and the Office of Judicial
Affairs provides the student an opportunity complete an assignment that will
not cause the F grade to change to a F* grade.
For the E* and U* grades, a student is assigned the E* and U* for a
course and then the * is removed upon completion of an assignment. This procedure means that the E* or U*
remains on the student’s transcript during the period in which he/she is
completing the assignment, which is not the case for the F* grade. This Proposal would ensure uniform
administration of the F*, E* and U* grades.
Recommendation: Delete parts of Proposal 28-04
given by strikethroughs and add to Proposal 28-04 those sentences given in bold
print.
