All grades except I (Incomplete) and IP (In Progress) are considered final. Only courses with a passing grade will count toward degree requirements, unless otherwise specified. A course with an I or IP is not counted toward degree requirements until the I or IP is replaced by a passing grade. The grades of P, S, NP, U, I, and IP carry no grade points, and the units in such courses are not included in grade-point average (GPA) computations.
Grade I (Incomplete)
If your work in a course has been of passing quality but is incomplete for reasons beyond your control (such as extreme illness), you can arrange to receive a grade of “Incomplete” from your instructor, so that you may finish the work during the Fall term. All incomplete arrangements must be made with the course instructor of record for the course before the course ends.
UC Berkeley and visiting Summer Sessions students are required to complete the work by the first day of instruction of the following Spring semester or the I grade will lapse to either an F or NP and become a part of the GPA computation. Consult the Berkeley Academic Guide for instructions on removing the I grade.
The I grade is not physically replaced or removed from the academic record. Completion of the work is reflected as a subsequent line entry on the record, and the units and grade points earned will be included in subsequent GPA computations.
Grade IP (In Progress)
IP grade can only be assigned to UC Berkeley students because its removal is contingent on enrollment in the course in the next term. Please refer to the Berkeley Academic Guide for more information.
