No Grade ('NG')

In accordance with Davis Division Regulations A540-G¹, the Office of the University Registrar shall enter the grade notation NG on the student's record for a student whose instructor has not yet submitted an appropriate grade (letter grade or P, NP, S, U, I, Y, or IP) upon final grade submission.

Notification of an Existing NG Grade

The Office of the University Registrar provides written notification to all affected students to ensure awareness an NG grade has been assigned and must be removed within one academic term or the NG grade will lapse to a not passing grade (F, NP, or U). Affected students should contact the instructor of the course immediately to resolve the NG grade.

Life Cycle of an NG Grade

An NG grade must be replaced with a final grade by the end of the succeeding quarter, excluding summer sessions, or the grade will revert to a not passing grade (F, NP, or U).

NG Grade Removal

Conditions for removing the NG grade are as follows:

  • The NG grade notation shall be replaced when the final grade is submitted by the instructor via the Online Grade Change Tool
  • The NG grade and relevant course notation both shall be deleted from the student's transcript if it is established that an administrative error resulted in the improper assignment of NG to the student.
  • The Office of the University Registrar shall change the NG notation to a not passing grade (F, NP, or U) if the NG grade has not been removed after one quarter.

Repeating a Course with an NG Grade

You may not re-enroll in a course if you have an unresolved grade. To remove the NG grade from your record, you will need to contact the instructor who assigned the NG and have them submit a grade through the Online Grade Change Tool for the prior enrollment.
