Grades

Grades are automatically mailed after Student Services receives grade reports from instructors, usually within two weeks after the last class meeting. If for any reason a student does not receive a grade report, he or she may request a copy from the Student Services desk: (951) 827-4105 or (800) 442-4990 or e-mail register@ucx.ucr.edu.

All grades except I (incomplete) are final when filed by University Extension instructors.

Grading System:

A – excellent
B – good
C – fair
D – barely passed
F – not passed (may be raised to a passing grade only by repeating the course)
I – incomplete

To receive an incomplete and later revise the grade, the student must file a petition (forms are available at Student Services) containing a written agreement between the instructor and the student detailing completion of coursework. If coursework is not completed as agreed, the grade automatically reverts to an F. The petition is filed with the instructor and is due at the time the instructor turns in the class gradesheet, and it is entirely the student's responsibility to gain the instructor's approval of the agreement before that time.

Pass/Not Pass: Students in 300 or 400 series courses have the option of being graded on a pass/not pass basis. Students in courses numbered 1-299 do not have this option. Pass is interpreted as Grade A, B or C; not pass is interpreted as grade D or F.
