Research (R)
An 'R' grade is given when a student is making satisfactory progress in a research or capstone course that extends beyond the end of the term (sprint or quarter) or in a project extending over more than one term (sprint or quarter).
Students receiving an 'R' grade must complete the course within one quarter of the posting of the 'R' grade; if not an 'F' grade is assigned as the final course grade.
Instructors may not change 'R' grades without the permission of the Director of Academics. In the event that the original instructor is no longer available to grade the work, the Director of Academics will assign a faculty member who will resolve the 'R' grade.
In the undergraduate programs, only the capstone courses will qualify for 'R' grade assignment.
