Returning your Unit Grades:
How to Do
It
[Part
2]
June 2007
FOR
POSTGRADUATE UNITS
1 The standard distribution
patterns for postgraduate units, as revised by Academic Senate at its June 2003
meeting, are listed in Table 1 below. (Note that the percentages are
of all students enrolled in the unit.)
| HD | D | Cr | |
| 800 level | 8% ± 5% | 20% ± 10% | 45% ± 15% |
Postgraduate grade possibilities
include, in addition to those used for undergraduate units:
| S | for Satisfactory (used sometimes in seminar-based units without formal examination) |
| K | for Continuing (!), in cases where a candidate does not complete a research unit in one calendar year and will have to enrol in it again next year |
| Z | thesis has been submitted and is being examined |
See Pg 146 of the Handbook of Postgraduate Studies for more information on coursework students and Pg 112 for research students.
2 Academic Senate does require that postgraduate results are dealt with at the same time as the undergraduate grades, although it is not the Division's practice to review postgraduate grades at the Division's examiners' meeting.
3 If you need to return an even later I grade on one of these sheets, attach a brief explanation in each case, together with the expected date on which you will return the final grade. Please note that Academic Programs Committee requires all Incomplete results to be resolved by the commencement of the next examination period, or the results become Fail grades. Please do not take this as an invitation to permit students such a period of grace; all Incomplete grades require a valid explanation to the Dean of Division.
4 When changes of grade need
be recommended after your result sheet has been lodged, fill out the appropriate
Postgraduate Unit Change-of-Grade Sheet for each student. Make sure you
have signed it, and hand it to the Dean's office. The document can also be found on the Staff Intranet under Documents on Processes.
