GRADING PRACTICES

The OISE/UT Graduate Studies Grading Practices falls within the general framework of the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies (SGS) grading system, and has the following features:

A. Evaluation Procedures

B. Conditions for Final Standing

The School of Graduate Studies defines the following non-grade course reports that may appear on transcripts. All grade revisions must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies according to these revised grading procedures.

INC-Incomplete: May be assigned by the Associate Dean when a grade has not been submitted to the School of Graduate Studies by the appropriate deadline. It may also be assigned by a graduate unit review committee on the basis of incomplete course work upon an instructor's recommendation in special circumstances (e.g., medical reasons or when there are no grounds for assigning a failing grade).

The instructor may replace the INC by a regular grade within eight months following the end of the session in which the course is offered. If the incomplete is not replaced by a regular grade within this period of time, the INC becomes a final report.

IPR-In Progress: Assigned by the instructor as the report for a course that is continued in a subsequent session or program. The final grade for the course will appear only once and only for the last enrolment period. IPR carries no credit for the course and is not considered for averaging purposes.

WDR-Withdrawal without academic penalty: Assigned, when there are extenuating circumstances, by the departmental review committee upon approval of a student's request for a late withdrawal from a course. It carries no credit for the course and is not considered for averaging purposes.

XMP-Exemption: Granted on the basis of credit for work done elsewhere. It carries credit for the course but is not considered for averaging purposes.

NOTE: An Incomplete or Failed course may be taken again, but a course resulting in a passing grade cannot be repeated.
