The "RP" symbol is used in connection with courses that extend beyond one academic term. The symbol indicates that work in progress has been evaluated as satisfactory to date, but that the assignment of a final grade must await the completion of additional course work. Cumulative enrollment in units attempted may not exceed the total number applicable to the student's educational objective. For example, a student who has four units of 299, Master's Thesis, on the Approved Program may not enroll for more than a total of four units of 299.
All work is to be completed within one calendar year of the date of first enrollment except for graduate degree project and thesis courses (298 and 299 courses) which have a two-year time limit. After two years, failure to complete the assigned work for an “RP” grade will result in an automatic grade change to an “NC” grade which does not affect the GPA.
A final grade will be assigned to all segments of the course on the basis of overall quality. Any extension of this time period must receive prior authorization by the instructor and department chair. Forms for this procedure are available in the Student Services Center or at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms.
