Deferred Grades

If a student is prevented from completing a course within the prescribed amount of time, it is possible to have the grade for that course deferred and be completed at a later date (policy 48-40).


Approval for a deferred grade (DF) must be given by the instructor of the course. The instructor assigns the student a deferred grade on eLion. 

The period during which a grade may be deferred shall not exceed six weeks after the beginning of the next session in which the student is enrolled in the University. A deferred grade that is not changed to a passing grade by the instructor before the end of this period automatically becomes an "F."
