Per general requirements
for a Master's degree, graduate students may not count
more than 6 hours of course work graded C (2.0), C+
(2.33) or CR.
Having evaluated the materials
required for the examination, if the Committee feels
that, although the student has demonstrated knowledge
and understanding of the field, it is not quite sufficient
to justify a grade of "pass", the committee
may assign the grade of "Conditional Pass"
and require that the student meet additional conditions
before a grade of pass will be awarded. The student
must meet the conditions noted on the Conditional Pass
by the end of the subsequent term. However, students
who plan to graduate in a specific term must resolve
a Conditional Pass by the posted deadline for submission
of examination results. The committee will note the
conditions that need to be met by the student on the
examination form.
Per UNM policy, no more than 6 credit hours of
course work in which a C(2.0), C+ (2.33) or CR was earned
may be credited toward a graduate degree. In addition,
the Manufacturing Engineering Program will not approve
the CR to be used for its core courses, and it will
only permit 3 credit hours of CR total (excluding Project
extensions).

According to academic policy, incomplete grades must
be completed before a student is eligible to graduate
from the University of New Mexico.
The grade of “I” is given only when circumstances
beyond the student’s control have prevented completion
of the coursework within the official dates of a semester/session.
Students should not re-enroll or re-register (for credit)
in a course in which an incomplete has been received
in order to resolve the “I” (incomplete)
grade. If an instructor requires the student to repeat
the class in order to resolve the Incomplete, the student
must register for the course on an audit basis.
Incomplete grades received Summer 2005
and after must be resolved no later than one year (twelve
months) from the published end day of the semester in
which the grade was assigned. Incomplete grades not
resolved within the time frame stated in this policy
are automatically converted to an F (failure) grade.
Students who resolve Incompletes in the semester of
graduation must have the process completed (including
the reporting of the grade to the Records and Registration
Office, SSC 250) by the deadline. Students are responsible
for informing instructors that they are graduating and
the grade(s) must be reported by the appropriate deadline.
Failure to complete the process as described could result
in the postponement of graduation until the following
semester. The instructor of record reports the final
grade for the course in which the Incomplete was assigned
to the Records and Registration Office, SSC 250. Graduate
students see the section on Graduate Programs related
to this policy.
(UNM Catalog 2007-2008, Page 42)
Extension of Incomplete
(PDF)
A student may apply for an extension of the time allowed
to complete the course work required to remove the “I”
grade. The request for extension may be obtained in
the Records and Registration Office. A student who re-enrolls
in residence, may be granted a one-semester extension.
If an extension is granted, it is the student’s
responsibility to ensure the “I” grade is
removed by the date indicated. Graduate students are
required to obtain the additional signature of the Dean
of Graduate Studies. The request form must be submitted
no later than the last day of the term.
(UNM Catalog 2007-2008, Page 43)
Per the general requirements
for a Master's degree, graduate students must complete
at least 50% of required course work after admission
to the graduate program, unless further limited by the
graduate program. It should be noted that UNM does not
use the grades from non-matriculated courses in the
calculation of the graduate GPA. Thus,
a student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
based on MATRICULATED classes only.
The University of New Mexico
and the Office of Graduate Studies recognizes the importance
of ceremony in students’ lives. On occasion, a
student is unable to complete graduation requirements
in accordance with University deadlines. Students who
are within one term of graduation may, with the support
of their faculty advisor and graduate program, request
permission to participate in the University’s
commencement ceremony. This form must be submitted to
the Office of Graduate Studies no later than April 15
for the Spring term or November 15 for the Fall term.
In addition, each student must complete the commencement
forms on the University Secretary’s website (http://www.unm.edu/
~commence/).
MEP students requesting to walk
in a graduation ceremony should have a near-final version
of their thesis or project report submitted to their
COS at the time of the request. MEP students who have
not submitted a draft of a thesis or project report
to their COS should not request to participate in commencement
ceremonies."
