At the Faculty Senate meeting on April 16, the senate approved a new grade type which is required to support the federal reporting needs for financial aid and for Veterans benefits. This new grade type – the Z grade – is to be used only for students who discontinue their participation in a course and only for final grades.
The Z grade enables the instructor to enter the last day of attendance into the final grade roster. When official grade posts the Z grade is converted to an F grade. Only the F grade will display on the WSU official transcript.
