Grades
A student may withdraw from classes during the third quarter of a semester or session if he receives the approval of his advisor and the instructor of the course; the instructor of the appropriate course will assign a grade of "w" or "WF", which will reflect the student's progress up to the date of withdrawal. Removal of Incomplete: Removal of a grade of incomplete is the student's responsibility.
Courses Repeated
W or WF Withdrawal or Withdrawal, by Default: A student may officially withdraw from classes during the first half of a semester or session without penalty if he receives approval from his advisor; a degree of. A student may withdraw from classes during the last quarter of a semester or session if he receives the approval of his advisor, the instructor of the course, and his dean; the instructor of the appropriate course will assign a grade of "w" or "WF", which will reflect the student's progress up to the date of withdrawal.
Course Audits
Incomplete: The grade I (Incomplete) indicates that the work at the end of the semester is satisfactory but not completed. An incomplete grade that has not been removed by the end of one year will be converted to the grade F by the Registrar's Office.

BACHELOR OF "SCIENCE
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE - MAJOR IN CHEMISTRY
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (Granted by Purdue University)
MASTER OF SCIENCE
Anyone who does not meet these requirements should take the Aptitude Test section of the Graduate Record Examination or seek immediate counseling. The general requirements include admission to ordinary graduate status, completion of the English requirement and satisfactory completion of an approved study plan. Departmental placement tests in analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry are given each fall to incoming regular graduate students to determine deficiencies that must be removed before completion of the graduate program.
