In computing GPAs, Polytechnic does not consider or count courses graded W, I, S or U towards the total credits passed or earned. GPAs are computed by multiplying the numerical grade in each course by the number of credits for each course, adding these products for the courses taken and then dividing this sum by total number of credits represented by courses considered.
The W and I grades are described in greater detail in subsequent sections of the Polytechnic Catalog. Grades S or U are used to indicate progress in multi-semester research projects or theses, or for non-credit-bearing remedial or other courses. Undergraduate enrolled in graduate courses may not receive plus or minus grades or grades of D or AUDIT.
The MR grade is used for pre-college level courses to replace grades of D, D+ or F, and is not counted in the GPA computation once received in the first two semesters of the student’s studies at Polytechnic. Any courses taken after two semesters, including any course then being repeated, are subject to the existing grading system. Students receiving an MR grade are ineligible for the Dean’s List for the semester the MR grade was received.
Where do I find out all of the courses I need for a bachelor’s degree?
The Polytechnic Institute of NYU Catalog has the course study for each major. It can be found on the last page of each academic department section.How do I apply for graduation?
Students must file a formal application for the award of the degree Bachelor of Science from Polytechnic. Filing dates for each semester are published in the Schedule of Classes. Students who do not file by the published deadline become candidates for the next graduating class.
Applications for BS degrees are available in the Office of the Registrar. Degrees are certified and diplomas are issued twice a year, at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Degrees are conferred at the annual spring commencement held in late May or early June. All work for the degree must be completed and submitted prior to the graduation date. Upon graduation, no transfer of courses among degree programs is allowed.
Filing fees for diplomas are payable at the time of filing in the Office of Student Accounts. If the award of a degree is delayed, diploma fees are not charged again. By vote of the faculty, degrees are not awarded to members of the University teaching staff who hold the rank of assistant professor or higher.
