Section 172-90-200. Failing grade.

A sanction of a failing course grade is recorded on the transcript as an "XF" and indicates a failure of the course due to violation of academic integrity standards. An XF is counted as a 0.0 for purposes of grade point average calculation.

(1) To petition to have an XF grade changed to an "F" (0.0), a student must submit a written request to the vice-provost. Requests will generally not be considered unless the following conditions are met:

(a) At least one year has passed since the XF grade was entered;

(b) The student has had no other violations of academic integrity standards; and

(c) The student has successfully completed a university sponsored noncredit seminar on academic integrity; or, for a person no longer enrolled at the university, an equivalent educational activity as determined by the AIB.

(2) The vice-provost will review the case and may consult with the referring instructor or academic unit head who originally reported the violation(s). If the vice-provost denies the request, the student may submit a new request one year later.
