| NC | No Credit, used in place of D+, D and D− in certain courses | Left out of your GPA. NC is available only in CHM 1032, CHM 2040, CHM 2041, CHM 2045C, CHS 1440, ENC 1101, ENC 1101H, ENC 1102, ENC 1102H, MAC 1105CH, MAC 1105H, MAC 1114C, MAC 1140C, MAC 1140H, MAC 2147, MAC 2233, MAC 2241, MAC 2253, MAC 2281, MAC 2281H, MAC 2311C, MAC 2311H, MAT 1033C and STA 2014; in those classes it replaces D+, D and D−. An NC keeps you off the President’s Honor Roll and the Dean’s List that term. Rule |
|---|
| W or WP | Withdrawn (WP is named in the GPA rule but not in the grade legend) | Left out of your GPA. You get a W when you withdraw before the withdrawal deadline; tuition and fees are not refunded. You can withdraw from a course at most twice, and six times in all at UCF: three from 1000–2000 level courses and three from 3000+ level courses. Rule |
|---|
| WL | Late Withdrawal, approved only in extraordinary circumstances beyond your control | Does not affect your GPA. Rule |
|---|
| WM | Medical Withdrawal | Has no effect on your GPA, and an approved medical withdrawal doesn’t use up a grade forgiveness. An approved late drop leaves the course off your transcript altogether. Rule |
|---|
| WH | Health Form Withdrawal | UCF’s grade legend lists it with no grade points, but the catalog’s GPA rule doesn’t name it among the grades whose hours are left out. Rule |
|---|
| I | Incomplete, given when extenuating circumstances keep you from finishing and all the work can be done within a year of the end of the term | Left out of your GPA while it stands. Finish by the earliest of your instructor’s deadline, one year from the end of the term, or your graduation, and don’t reenroll in the course to resolve it. An unresolved I lapses to F (to U in a course graded S/U), and you can’t graduate with an I on your transcript. Rule |
|---|
| S or U | Satisfactory (with credit, or satisfactory progress in research, thesis or dissertation) or Unsatisfactory (no credit) | Both are left out of your GPA. S/U work doesn’t count toward the hours for the President’s Honor Roll, and a U keeps you off the honor roll and the Dean’s List that term. Rule |
|---|
| X | Audit (no credit) | UCF’s grade legend lists it with no grade points, but the catalog’s GPA rule doesn’t name it. You attend without academic credit and pay regular tuition and fees; your instructor signs the audit form, and you can’t change to audit after Late Registration and Add. Rule |
|---|
| N | No grade reported by your instructor | Temporary: the Registrar’s Office assigns it when your instructor hasn’t submitted a grade by the deadline, and it is replaced by your earned letter grade at the earliest opportunity in the following term, before graduation. An N keeps you off the President’s Honor Roll and the Dean’s List that term. Rule |
|---|
| T, R, G, K or P | Marks on repeated courses | T before a grade means the course was later repeated (no credit), and R marks a retake under grade forgiveness. G is a repeated course under grade forgiveness with multiple attempts, K the latest attempt, and P a repeated course not under grade forgiveness. Rule |
|---|
| Repeated course | You took the same course again | Without grade forgiveness, every attempt stays on your transcript and counts in your GPA. Separately, the catalog’s repeat rule says UCF applies the best grade of your first two attempts when grade forgiveness isn’t used, and from a third attempt on, the grade in your last attempt is the one applied toward degree and program requirements, whether better or worse. A third enrollment brings the repeat surcharge: 100% of the full cost of instruction, at non-Florida-resident rates. Grade forgiveness substitutes the retake’s grade for the first one: the original stays on your transcript, marked T (or with a note describing the first attempt), but only the retake counts in your GPA or meets degree requirements. It is limited to two courses, never twice for the same course; both attempts must be at UCF, in the same course (or, with the offering college’s approval before you enroll, one whose prefix, number, hours or title changed but not its substance, or one replacing a course UCF no longer offers), and the original grade must be a C− or lower. If your degree program requires a grade higher than a C, you can request a grade forgiveness form from the Registrar’s Office, approved by your college’s Director of Academic Success Coaching. Apply by the Grade Forgiveness Deadline on the Academic Calendar for the term you retake the course. If you withdraw, get an I or get an NC in the retake, it still uses one of your two; an approved medical withdrawal or late drop doesn’t. If you turn out to be ineligible, you get no refund and no automatic withdrawal. Forgiveness doesn’t undo earlier probation or disqualification, no academic records can change after your degree is awarded, and coursework taken before UCF awarded you an associate or bachelor’s degree isn’t eligible. Other schools may not honor it. Rule |
|---|
| Transfer credit | Grades from another college | Your UCF GPA covers only work you attempted at UCF, and it is the GPA behind academic standing and the 2.0 you need to graduate. Your overall GPA combines UCF and transfer coursework; baccalaureate honors use it, and you also need at least 48 credit hours at UCF for them. Transfer coursework still shows on your Transfer Credit Evaluations page and your UCF transcript. If you take courses as a transient student at a school outside Florida’s State University System, or attend another school before you’re readmitted, plus and minus grades from Fall 2001 on transfer using UCF’s grade points. Grade forgiveness needs both attempts at UCF, with one exception: courses repeated as part of an Associate in Arts, or a specific statewide articulated Associate in Science, from a Florida College System institution or State University get grade forgiveness at UCF and count toward your two, and if you repeated two or more there, you get no grade forgiveness at UCF. Other repeated courses from another school are not honored as grade forgiveness. Rule |
