Frequently Asked Questions
Courses such as directed research, dissertation, or a thesis are for ongoing projects. Students are likely to enroll in multiple units across multiple terms. The grading of these types of units must follow thegrading basisof the course, usually S/P/F.
- S = Superior (superior achievement and progress on said project has been made)
- P = Passing (student has made appropriate progress on their project)
- F = Failure (Student did not make progress on the project)
In most cases, students will earn a ‘P’ indicating the project is continuing and the student is making satisfactory progress.
It is extremely important that students receive a grade for each semester of work toward their projects.
The Graduate College also has aFaculty Advisors Toolkitwith additional tips and resources.
