What is a “Z” Grade?
- The “Z’ grade, approved by the Faculty Senate to be effective fall 2015, should be used when a student will fail a class due to discontinued attendance without withdrawal.
- The “Z” grade provides the last day of attendance which is essential for accurate federal reporting requirements related to student financial aid and Veterans benefits.
- When the last day of attendance is not available, the date of the last exam or assignment recorded should be submitted instead.
- The “Z” grade is for internal use only and is not visible to the student. It appears and functions as an F rather than as a Z on the transcript. Only the “F” grade is visible to the student.
