Help me! – Why is there is a GNA showing as my grade?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t

A GNA (also known as Grade not available) is “[a]n interim notation administratively assigned by the Faculty when a grade is not available, and must be replaced with a final grade.” (<\/span>section 5.4 of the Undergraduate Calendar Regulations<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

If your GNA relates to an academic integrity flag raised on submitted coursework, the Associate Dean will email you an explanation of the allegation.
