Graduate Students have the prerogative to resign any course for which they have registered without Q.P.A. penalty up to 11 weeks after the beginning of a semester. All course resignations processed during the permissible dates (as published in the Class Schedule available through the Student Response Center) will be indicated as officially resigned courses by the notation “R” on all grade reports, transcripts, and other official University documents. Resignation from all courses should be done through BIRD (716-645-7800) or MyUB (http://www.myub.buffalo.edu/). There are no quality points attached to an “R” designation.
The incomplete (I/U) grade is available to students after the resignation deadline in cases where the student has not been able to complete all the assigned projects/and or examinations in a course due to illness or other unforeseeable and compelling circumstances. An incomplete (I/U) must be assigned a permanent letter grade after no more than two additional semesters and the intervening summer or it will automatically be converted to an “Unsatisfactory” “U” grade.
