The Office of the University Registrar sent an email to students on Wednesday, reminding them that it is their responsibility to drop any classes they do not attend. 

“If you fail to drop a class that you never attend or stop attending, you will be assigned a grade of ‘F’ (or ‘NC’ if applicable) for that class, the grade will be part of your permanent academic record, and it will impact your GPA,” the email read. “…The student will bear the responsibility of dropping a course within the published guidelines.  No tuition adjustments will be made for students who receive a failing grade for reasons of Never Attended or Stopped Attending.”

Students are reminded that grades or “F” or “NC” that are submitted during midterms or finals will be reflected on a student’s transcript as their final grade for the class.

“Whether submitted during midterm grading or final grading, the reason for the “F” or “NC” grade will not appear on the transcript,” the email read. 

For more information, students are encouraged to visit the Registrar’s grade reporting information page – https://registrar.ua.edu/faculty-staff/grade-reporting/ – or contact the Registrar at 205-348-2020 or [email protected].
