TIME LIMITS (EXY/EXZ COURSES ONLY)

Maximum Time Limit

Students have the option of finishing their coursework within the session of enrollment, or extending their completion date through the subsequent session if extra time is needed.

  • Students who complete course requirements before the deadline of the first session will be assigned their final grade at the end of that session.
  • Students who choose to extend their course will be given a temporary grade of Incomplete (“I”) at the end of the first session while they use the subsequent session to finish course requirements.
  • Students who finish required coursework by the absolute deadline in the subsequent session will have their grade changed from the “I” to their earned grade.
  • Students who do not finish their coursework by the absolute deadline in the subsequent session will automatically be assigned a grade of “F”.

Minimum Time Limit

Students who complete their coursework prior to the deadline of the first session of enrollment will be able to receive their final grade on their transcript at the end of the first session, but not sooner.

GRADE REPORTS AND TRANSCRIPTS

Neither the Registrar's Office nor the Center for Credit Programs sends final grade reports to students. There are features on ISIS (Iowa Student Information Services) that allow you to review grades, print out a grade report, and order an official transcript.

* To access these features, go to ISIS : http://isis.uiowa.edu/ and login using your Hawk ID and password. Once logged in, click on “Student Records” for options on reports and transcripts.

Student Records. Upon completion of this course, your final grade will be entered on your permanent student record at The University of Iowa. Courses are listed and grades are recorded under the session offered.

Transferability of credits. If you are transferring credits to another institution, you should verify transferability of the credit with that institution before registering.
