Open Enrollment
Grades and Grading
Grading option change forms are located on the Web (http://www.extension.ucsb.edu/student/forms)
- Academic Performance
As an Open Enrollment student, you are governed by the same grading policies
and procedures followed on the UCSB campus. These policies and procedures are
listed in
the UCSB General Catalog (www.catalog.ucsb.edu).
- Grading Options
You must choose either the letter grade or passed/not passed grading option
at the time you complete your Open Enrollment Authorization Forms. If you
decide to change your grading option during the quarter, you must file a
Request for
Change of Grading Option Form. Submit the completed form along
with the processing fee to the Extension Student Services office no later
than the seventh week of instruction. Specific deadlines for changing grading
option are listed in the Calendar at the end of this publication.
- Notification of Final Grades
As an Open Enrollment student, your name will not appear on the course roster
of regularly enrolled UCSB students. UCSB Extension sends the professor a separate
roster listing the names of all Open Enrollment students. At the end of the quarter,
the professor assigns final grades and records them on a grade roster sent by
UCSB Extension. You are notified by mail of the final grade for each course you
take. In most cases, you will receive this notice within three weeks of the end
of the quarter. If the professor does not return the grades promptly, this will
delay our ability to notify you. The grade notice is mailed to the address you
provide on the Open Enrollment Form unless you specify otherwise.
- Passed/Not Passed Grades
- You may exercise the Passed/Not Passed grading option in accordance
with campus regulations. If you intend to transfer credit to another
institution, you should verify in advance their acceptance of Passed/Not
Passed grading. Pass (P) grades will be assigned only for course work
equivalent to a C or better; Not Passed (NP) grades will be assigned
for work equivalent to a C- or below.
- Incomplete Grades
The grade Incomplete (I) may be assigned when a student’s
work is of passing quality but is incomplete. If you are unable to
complete the course work by the end of the quarter, you may petition
for an Incomplete (I) grade. You must obtain a petition for an Incomplete
grade from the UCSB Extension office or download it from the UCSB
Extension Web site (www.extension.ucsb.edu) and have the professor
sign as indicated. The completed form must be filed with UCSB Extension
by 4:00pm on the last day of the quarter. Forms may be submitted
in person or by mail. If the course work is completed by the end
of the following quarter, the professor will submit your final grade
to UCSB Extension, replacing the Incomplete. If the course work is
not completed by that deadline, the I grade automatically converts
to a grade of F or NP, as appropriate, unless the professor instructs
UCSB Extension, in writing, to extend the deadline. If an Incomplete
grade is reported to UCSB Extension for an undergraduate course and
the petition is not on file, an F or NP will be recorded as the final
grade.
- No Grade Reported
If a professor does not report a grade for a course in which you are enrolled,
you will receive a notification letter from UCSB Extension. It is your responsibility
to contact the professor and determine how to resolve the matter. After three
months, if no grade is received from the professor you will automatically
receive a grade of F or NP, depending on your chosen grading option.
