Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis

Business students may take only general elective courses and KINE 198 and KINE 199 on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis. All other courses in the business degree plan must be taken for a letter grade.

General Elective. A student must decide AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION whether to take a general elective course for a letter grade or S/U. The deadline for making this decision is the fourth class day of each semester. Meet with your advisor before registering for a general elective on an S/U basis.

KINE 198. A student has until the Q-drop deadline to decide whether to take KINE 198 for a letter grade or S/U. Use the Student Information System to change the grading status any time before the Q-drop deadline. Print a copy of your schedule; it will indicate "SU" if the course is taken S/U. Note: KINE 198 cannot be repeated.

KINE 199. A student MUST enroll in his/her first KINE 199 on an S/U basis to fulfill the one credit hour KINE 199 core curriculum requirement. KINE 199 can be repeated unlimited times. The student has until the Q-drop deadline to decide whether to take a specific section of KINE 199 for a letter grade or S/U. If it is taken for a letter grade, it can only fulfill a general elective requirement in the business student's B.B.A. degree plan. (KINE 199 graded fulfills NO degree requirement for agribusiness majors.)

Students may use the Student Information System to confirm or change the grading status of KINE 199 any time before the Q-drop deadline. Print a copy of your schedule; it will indicate "SU" if the course is taken S/U.

Certain other courses are offered S/U only and a student cannot change that grading status. Such courses may only be used to fulfill general elective requirements in business B.B.A. degree plans.

When a student elects to take a course on an S/U basis, a grade of "satisfactory" (S) will be given only for grades of C and above. The hours for which a student receives a grade of "S" shall not be included in the computation of the student's semester or cumulative GPR. A grade of "Unsatisfactory" (U) will be given for grades D and F. "Unsatisfactory" grades shall be included in the computation of the student's semester or cumulative GPR and count the same as an "F."
