| P | Pass | |
| F | Fail (If pass/fail course) | |
| I | Incomplete work | |
| W | Withdrawal before mid-semester, or after the drop deadline of an accelerated format course (does not negatively affect the grade point average) | |
| WP | Passing at time of official withdrawal after mid-semester (does not negatively affect the grade point average) | |
