Situations have arisen in which the student has insisted upon receiving a grade of Ab even though taking a final exam would not have prevented receiving an E in the course in question. More and more grades of Ab are being given to students, and it is felt that students perceive the grade of Ab as more desirable than the grade of E. The following language will apply to the Ab grade: Ab = Absent from the final examination withcut an acceptable excuse (counts as failure). If a student is absent from a final examination and it is clear that taking that examination could not have resulted in a passing grade for the course, a grade of E may be given instead of Ab. Change of Name, Department of Veterinary Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a change in name of the Department of Veterinary Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology to the Department of Veterinary Biosciences.
