The Registrarshall change the grade of I to F in letter graded courses (thosereceiving a final grade of A, B , B, C, or F) and in coursesgraded Pass/Fail if the incomplete is not removed within thesucceeding semester, unless the instructor grants an extensionof one additional semester for completion of the unfinishedwork. If the work remains incomplete at the end of theadditional semester, the Registrar shall change the grade of Ito F.The grade of IP (In Progress) may be given for thesis, project,and seminar courses when the work extends by design overmultiple terms. The IP indicates that work is in progress and afinal grade will be given in the future.Auditing of CoursesA student may elect to take a course on a non-credit or “audit”basis. The student may also change from credit to audit orvice-versa until the last day to withdraw from the course asdesignated in the Academic Calendar. An auditor receives agrade of “AU” in the course, and this is recorded on thetranscript. Courses audited are charged at 50% of the normaltuition rate.Any student registering as an auditor in a class must consultthe instructor to determine the level of participation theinstructor expects of an auditor. If any auditing student fails tomeet the expected level of participation, the instructor willnotify the Registrar at the end of the term, and the Registrarwill withdraw the student from the class.Calculating the Grade Point Average (GPA)Only credits attempted at Alfred University which havereceived final grades of A through F shall be used to calculateGPA. The term GPA is calculated by dividing the total gradepoints (or “quality points”) earned by the “GPA Hours” forthat term.

Graduatestudents at Alfred University are expected to maintaingenerally accepted standards of academic honesty andprofessional integrity. Failure to do so may range from failureof the assignment to dismissal.Academic dishonesty can occur both in and outside theclassroom, studio, or lab.In the context of tests, quizzes, examinations, or other in-classwork, dishonest practices include but are not limited to: Marking an answer sheet in a way designed to deceive theperson correcting it Possession of unauthorized material that could be usedduring a quiz, test, or examination for the purposes ofcheating The unauthorized use of books or notes during a quiz, test,or examination The hiding or positioning of notes or other tools for thepurposes of cheating on a quiz, test, or examination Possession or knowledge of any examination prior to itsadministration Looking at someone else's quiz, test, or examinationwithout the express permission of the instructor Any form of unauthorized communication during a quiz,test, or examinationIn the context of writing assignments, research projects, labreports, and other academic work completed outside theclassroom, dishonest practices include but are not limited to: Lack of adequate and appropriate citation of all sourcesused The appropriation of another’s ideas, analysis, or actualwords without necessary and adequate source citations,either deliberately or inadvertently The copying, purchase, or other appropriation of anotherperson’s academic work with the intention of passing it offas one’s own original production The creation of a document by more than one student thatis then submitted to the instructor as the original creation ofonly one student, without the express permission of theinstructor Submitting the same piece of work to more than oneinstructor without the express permission of ALLinstructors involved Fabrication of data Inappropriate alteration or exclusion of data5Guidelines for Avoiding Dishonest BehaviorThe following guidelines are included to assist students inavoiding dishonest behavior in their academic work,particularly in writing assignments, research projects, and labreports.a) Students’ written work should reflect their ownpersonal preparation for the assignment, such asreading books and articles, performing research onthe internet and in electronic databases, and takingnotes in class and during the research process.b) Students should avoid using the actual words of theauthors of their sources whenever possible, optinginstead to demonstrate an understanding of theauthors’ ideas by rewriting them in their ownwords.c) All ideas and analyses that are derived from otherauthors must be attributed to those authors in theform of appropriate source citations, even whentheir own words are not used. Source citationsusually take the form of footnotes, endnotes, orparenthetical citations in addition to a formalbibliography and/or works cited page at the end ofthe writing assignment. The format for these sourcecitations depends on the conventions of eachacademic discipline: consult your instructor as tothe appropriate form to use.d) When the use of an author’s specific text isunavoidable or necessary, that material must beidentified as a direct quotation and must either besurrounded by quotation marks or formatted as ablock quotation. Appropriate source citations mustfollow all quotations, as per the instructions above.e) Circumstances when direct quotation is necessary ordesirable include:1. The wording of the text is essential to thestudent’s own analysis.2. The text exemplifies the author’s particularf)perspective.3. Quoting the text is a more efficient way ofpresenting the author’s ideas than a moreelaborate and lengthy paraphrase would be.It should be noted that lengthy quotations or theiroveruse is neither desirable nor appropriate in mostinstances and should be avoided. Additionally,over-reliance on lengthy quotations can beconsidered a form of plagiarism.Some instructors find collaborative assignmentsuseful. Students may be allowed to collaborate inshared assignments only with the specificpermission of the instructor. In those circumstancesthe limits to the collaboration will be established bythe instructor and students should be aware that theyare responsible for maintaining the appropriatelimits to that collaboration.ProceduresInstructors who believe an unethical practice has occurredshould take the following steps:a) The instructor will advise the student orally or by email as soon as possible after the offense isobserved. This will allow simple misunderstandingsand misinterpretations to be resolved.
6Alfred University Graduate Catalog 2019-2020b)c)If the instructor remains convinced that an offensehas occurred, a written statement of the offense willbe sent to the student in hard copy and by e-mail.The statement will include whatever penalty theinstructor considers appropriate; a copy will be sentto the instructor's dean, the student's dean orprogram chair, and, if the recommended penalty isdismissal, the Associate Provost for GraduatePrograms.The academic dean or program director of thestudent's college/program should advise the studentof appeals procedures which are available.A student charged with an unethical practice may appeal tothe appropriate program committee.Any student dismissed from the Graduate School may requestreconsideration of the matter by the Graduate Council; suchrequests to be made within 14 days of the notice of dismissal.If not satisfied with that reconsideration, the student mayappeal to the Associate Provost for Graduate Programs; suchappeal to be made within 14 days of dismissal.AccreditationAlfred University is accredited by the Middle StatesAssociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
