Academic Standing

The student is responsible at all times for knowing his or her own scholastic standing in reference to the published academic policies, regulations, and standards of the Institute.

Good Standing Institute polices on academic standing are intended to ensure that all students receive timely notification when they are subject to academic discipline or achieve academic honors. Students subject to academic discipline are encouraged to take advantage of support services available to them, including academic advisement, in an effort to help them meet Institute academic standards.

Qualitative Standards

A. The staff of each school’s advisement office evaluates the academic standing of its students twice during the academic year. The evaluations
take place at the end of each major semester (fall and spring).

B. Academic standing is based on cumulative GPA (academic discipline) and term GPA (academic honors). Term and cumulativeGPAs are calculated using the guidelines published in this bulletin. Beginning with the spring 1992 semester, a student’s GPA above 2.0 will be rounded to one decimal point in evaluating eligibility for President’s List and Dean’s List honors and eligibility for restricted/endowed scholarships. Rounding is not utilized if a student’s cumulative average is below 2.0.

C. Standard notification letters are mailed to students in the following categories:
• President’s List Honors recipients
• Dean’s List Honors recipients
• Academic probation standing
• Candidates for academic dismissal

D. President’s List Honors recipients are defined as follows: students whose term GPA is 3.6 or higher, and who have completed 12 or more credits in that term with no incomplete grades.

E. Dean’s List Honors recipients are defined as follows: students whose term GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5, and who have completed 12 or more credits in that term with no incomplete grades.

Grade Reports

Grades are available for students to review at any time using WebAdvisor.
Students are advised to review their grades carefully and to address any inquiry promptly with the Office of the Registrar. Students may check their academic records in the
Office of the Registrar (Thrift Hall 1) upon presentation of appropriate identification during scheduled office hours. The registrar’s office will automatically mail a new grade report to any students who have received a change of grade.

The following grades and values are used to calculate the GPA.

A-______________________3.7
B+______________________3.3

Grades that are not used to calculate your GPA.

NR - NO RECORD
When a faculty member gives a grade of NR they are giving a grade of F. NR is not used to calculate the GPA. However,if the grade is not reolved by the end of the following semester it becomes an F and is used to calculate the GPA.

INC - INCOMPLETE

The INC will turn to an F at the end of the following semester.

An INC is given by an instructor at the written request of the student. The student must have regular attendance, have satidfied all but the final requirement of the course, and the student has furnished satisfactory proof that the work was not completed due to an illness or other circumstances beyond the students control.

NG - NO GRADE

An NG indicates that the student was properly registered for the course but the faculty member did not issue a grade for the student.

The CR grade is to be assigned to all appropriately documented transfer credit. This grade is applied to Pratt credit only if the following situations are applicable: the student is enrolled in any course offered by a school other than the one in which the student is matriculated and had requested from the professor at the start of the term a CR/NCR option as a final grade for that term, or the instructor has first
received approval to award CR grades from the Office of the Provost. (Does not apply to liberal arts courses within the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences. No numerical grade value.)
