Letter grades (A,B,C,D,F,& W) are final grades. They can be changed only if a clerical error has been made in recording the grade. Once a final grade has been recorded, a proposed change must be in writing and brought before the Academic Dean by the professor. Grades of A+ and D- ARE NOT recognized by NYU.
For a course to count in the UGFTV major, a student must receive a grade of "C" or better. If a student receives a "C-" or lower in a UGFTV course, it will count for Elective credit ONLY. All passing grades are acceptable for General Education credit.
Incompletes (I's) and Extensions
If students are unable, for good reason, to complete course work in the designated period, then he or she must request from that instructor that they be given a grade of Incomplete. Assignment of the grade of Incomplete is at the discretion of the instructor. If a student is given an Incomplete in a course, the instructor will give a deadline by which outstanding work must be completed.
IMPORTANT: If you have good reason for not being able to complete the work by that time, you may be granted an extension by the instructor. To obtain an extension, a Completion of Work Outstanding Form must be filed by the instructor, and signed by the Department Chair and the Dean of Student Affairs. A copy will be mailed to you.
Please remember that it is your responsibility to request the grade of Incomplete, and there is no automatic grace period of Incomplete grades. The instructor must specify a date of completion whenever you are given a grade of Incomplete.
All students must be aware that they will be unable to graduate with coursework outstanding. No student can graduate with an incomplete on their record.
