Unless modified in accordance with established procedures, each grade assigned by faculty (including a grade in a course that has been repeated), or a grade of “W” is permanent and cannot be removed from a student’s official record or transcript.
The University of North Carolina Wilmington uses the grade point system and semester hour credit for calculating student achievement. Plus (+) or minus (-) grades may be awarded at the discretion of the faculty. Grade symbols used are the following:

*Earned grade points equal quality points
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the accumulated number of grade points (quality points) earned at UNCW by the accumulated number of attempted hours earned at UNCW. Hours for which grades of “F” or “WF” have been assigned are included in the calculation of the GPA. Grades of “I,” “IP,” “W,” “NR,” “Z” and “P” are not included in the calculation of the GPA.
At the discretion of the instructor and in compliance with policies governing appropriate conditions for assigning a grade of Incomplete, a student may be given a grade of Incomplete when the work in the course has not been completed for reasons beyond the control of the student. All incomplete grades must be removed according to a deadline established by the instructor, but no later than the end of the next regular semester, otherwise the “I” becomes “F” and cannot be changed. A student must not register for the class when attempting to remove a grade of Incomplete. No student will be allowed to graduate with an Incomplete grade on his/her academic record. Such grades that have not been resolved at the time of graduation will be converted to an “F.” If a student meets graduation requirements, despite the “F,” the appropriate degree will be awarded.
An “IP” is assigned to departmental honors projects (499) in semesters other than their final one. Upon successful completion of the entire project, “IP” grades from previous semesters are converted to letter grades, and grade points are retroactively awarded.
Grades of “P” and “F” can be assigned to internships designated by a 498 number as described in the section on Internships. The credit hours earned with a “P” will count towards the number of hours required to graduate but will be excluded from the computation of the GPA. Grades of “F” will be included in the computation of the GPA.
