Progress Report grades of "S" or "U" are issued for all students enrolled in 1000 and 2000 level courses in the Fall Semester and Spring Semester prior to midterm, a Progress Report grade of "U" indicates a performance level of "D" or lower. These are not permanent grades and never appear on a transcript, but are issued to help students assess where they stand in the class and obtain academic help from the faculty and the many academic resource services available on campus.
