i. Motion Regarding SA/NA grades:
The APC endorses the creation of a new “NA” (never attended) grade. The currently existing “NR” (no record/not reported) grade will be removed from the grading menu for faculty. In addition, the grade “F/SA” (failure/stopped attending) will be added to the grading scheme to allow faculty members to indicate if a student who earned an F also stopped attending at some point during the semester. The Executive Committee and the administration will work together to develop the catalogue language for these grades. These changes shall be effective starting fall 2015.
