All college work is measured in terms of both quantity and quality. Grades (grade symbols) relate to Grade Points and are defined in detail in the COS Catalog.

Treat any grade that begins with “I%” as incomplete. Student Services runs an incomplete grade process one year later at the end of the term. “I” grades at that time turn to F. “I%” grades turn into the second character at that time.
