You may receive a final grade other than those shown above, such as:
IN: An 'IN' grade means your grade is incomplete.
If your Course Coordinator has given you an extension of time to complete your course on compassionate or academic grounds, you may receive an 'IN' grade until you complete your course.
If you are awarded an 'IN' grade and are unsure why, you should contact your Course Coordinator for further clarification.
GP: A 'GP' grade means Grade Pending.
You may receive a 'GP' if it is not possible for the University to give you a grade due to exceptional administrative circumstances.
CC: A 'CC' grade means Cross-Institution Credit.
The grade awarded from your cross-institutional study does not transfer to your UniSC academic record, but when successfully completed, it will appear on your UniSC academic transcript as a CC (Cross-Institution Credit) grade.
Your grades from cross-institutional study do not contribute to your grade point average (GPA).
For more information, see Enrolments and Graduation Procedures.
For a detailed explanation of all grades and notations, refer to the Grades and Grade Point Average (GPA) - Academic Policy.
