3. Consistency in terminology in the Academic Regulations. The “Y” is not listed as an official grade in AR 17 but is referred to as a “Y code.” However, in AR 22 footnote 1 and (link to AR 25 footnote 5, the Y is referred to as a grade.
Question:
4. Correction? See footnote 1 in AR 20 (Repeated Courses) and AR 22 (Satisfactory Academic Standing for Undergraduate Students). They are essentially the same, but AR 22 includes “W, or Y” in the footnote defining “an attempt” while AR 20 does not.
