We ran across this issue recently. We had been using three different designations across our campus: letter grade; pass/fail; IP (in progress); and S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory). With our registrar, we are developing a plan to make a uniform system based on XP and CP (with CP changing to a letter grade at the end– and XP triggering a performance improvement plan shared with the Graduate Dean’s office). Our early discussion with our advisory council about this indicated that they DID NOT want such a bi-modal set of options (i.e. either doing well, CP, or go straight to XP where the credits do not count). We are now developing further with the potential for a CP with PIP, etc. Once we have something established and posted to our website, then I can send the link.
