Grades Which Carry No Quality Points
Incomplete—I
Given for sickness or emergency reasons near end of term and must be approved by the professor, department chair, and school dean. May also be used for practicum-type courses when pre-planned activities extend over two different grading periods. Must be removed within the first seven weeks following the semester (including summer) or grade becomes a permanent F or U. Seniors expecting to graduate must have all I’s removed prior to the conferral date.
Withdrawal—W
Granted to students who officially withdraw from a class by the calendar-scheduled last date to withdraw with a W. May be assigned by the school dean who schedules the course for extenuating circumstances after the last day to withdraw.
Satisfactory—S
Credit toward graduation, but no quality points. Courses numbered below 1000 carry institutional credit but no credit toward graduation.
Unsatisfactory—U
No credit.
Audit—N
No credit.
Prior Learning Credit
The University recognizes the validity of prior learning and provides opportunity to receive academic credit for college-level learning from experience, professional schools, and training. Up to 32 semester hours of academic credits for a BA or BS degree and 15 semester hours for an AA or AS degree are allowable with proper validation and approval in accordance with American Council of Education guidelines or evaluation by qualified Trevecca faculty. Such credit will be awarded only after 12 semester hours have been completed at Trevecca.
Military Service Credit
Credit may be given for military education. On presentation of a military transcript, credit is determined in accordance with American Council of Education guidelines by individual assessment according to Trevecca’s guidelines.
Transient Credit from Other Colleges
Students are not permitted to register for courses in other institutions while attending Trevecca without the approval of the registrar. Approval forms are available on TNU4U. The University reserves the right to reject any courses submitted which were not first approved. No degrees will be awarded and no transcript of credit will be issued until all financial obligations to the University are discharged in full.
