To change from A/F grading to S/U grading, and vice versa.

All courses are assigned the A-F or P/N (Pass/No Pass) grading option during registration.

Any changes from the A-F option (to S/U) are done by submitting a request via Beaver Hub to the Office of the Registrar. Grade option changes are subject to a change-of-registration fee. Please refer to the academic calendar for the current deadline for change of grading options.

Audit registration permits a student to enroll in a course for no credit and no grade.

Please contact your instructor to determine requirements for an audited course. Audit registration begins with the sixth day of classes and ends with the close of registration at the conclusion of the tenth day of classes. In order to audit a course, we suggest that you register for courses at your assigned registration time. You may then file the above form with the OSU Office of the Registrar in the audit registrations period to have your course status changed to audit.

Audit courses are assessed instructional fees at the same rate as credit courses. Any changes to an audit registration are subject to the same procedures, deadlines, and special fees as registration changes to regular courses. Upon completion of an audited course, the designation of "AUD" will be recorded on the transcript. Please refer to the academic calendar for the current deadline for audit registration.

If you are an Ecampus distance student, Ecampus Student Services can facilitate this process. Please contact Student Services at 800-667-1465 (select option 1).

Please note that in general, PELP may only be requested one time in the course of a student's academic career.

OSU policy states that instructors may grant the student up to one year to complete a course and receive a grade. The student must have completed significant coursework to obtain an incomplete. Maintaining communication and evaluating late coursework can be time consuming and very inconvenient, therefore, the decision to grant an incomplete is up to the instructor.

A student may request that an incomplete (for a course that has not been completed) be granted by an instructor, if the reasons for the incomplete are acceptable to the instructor, and so long as the student is passing the course at the time the request was made. It is recommended that at the time an agreement is made to issue an incomplete that the instructor and student complete a “Contract for Completion of Incomplete (I) Grade” to define the terms under which the incomplete will be completed.

Below you will find a clear example of an Ecampus instructor's course policy with regard to granting an incomplete to his/her distance students. This policy follows OSU guidelines.

"Take this course only if you plan to finish it in a timely manner (during this term). I assign an "I" or incomplete only when there is a strong and compelling case for doing so (e.g., health reasons, military commitment). I will not consider assigning an incomplete unless the individual has completed over 50% of the course tasks (e.g., the Story paper, papers 1 and 2, and the midterm). Please note that students receiving incompletes are subject to assignment weight reduction (and consequently may not be eligible for A or A- grades) because some of their work will be submitted late."
