Procedure:
If, for reasons beyond the student’s control, the student is prevented from completing a course within the prescribed time, the instructor may agree to defer submission of the student’s final course grade. The instructor indicates this approval by recording the deferred grade symbol (DF) on either the Grade Reporting Form or the eLion/Faculty/Submit Grades application. The expiration date of this deferred grade action is automatically recorded at the end of the sixth week of the next semester. (Spring semester DF approvals expire fall semester unless the student enrolls during the summer session.)
The Deferred Grade Form is only required if one or more of the following conditions apply:
1. The instructor’s approved expiration date is earlier
than the standard 6-week date.
2. The instructor is approving an extension to the expiration
date.
3. The course instructor is not available and an authorized
individual is making the approval for deferred grade.
