elementary/high school grading system
Reading an IEP, I came across this: X is getting a grade of F U U this quarter.
The student is failing a class but what does the whole acronym stand for? I found UU stands for unofficial withdrawal for non-credit courses. That was a grading system at a college.
Thanks for your help,
Luis

Grado y Postgrado Satisfactorio Insatisfactorio- (SU) Grados:
Sujeto al programa de título universitario y las directrices del departamento, Los estudiantes pueden tomar cursos electivos y obtener calificaciones de S (Satisfactorio) o U (Insatisfactorio). Una calificación de S es igual a C (2.0) o mejor. Las calificaciones obtenidas en la opción SU no llevar los valores de calificaciones y no se calcula en la Universidad de Florida promedio de calificaciones. Estas calificaciones se incluyen en el registro permanente académico del estudiante y se reflejan en el expediente. Una vez que la opción de SU es aprobado, los estudiantes no pueden volver a una calificación.
Los estudiantes deben tener en cuenta que otras instituciones académicas y agencias pueden interpretar un grado de “U” como una calificación reprobatoria.
S/U Grading
The “S” in S/U grading stands for “satisfactory” work. The “U” stands for “unsatisfactory” work. (Some other schools call this type of grading option “pass/fail.”) Beginning students and students on probation may not choose to enroll in courses on an S/U basis (unless the course is only available S/U). All other students are eligible to enroll in one, but no more than one, course on an S/U grading option each semester.
Instructors do not know who in their classes is enrolled with A-F grading and who with S/U grading. They submit to the University Registrar at the end of a semester a standard A-F grade. If the student is enrolled S/U the grade will be converted to “S” if a grade of “C-” or higher is submitted. The grade will be converted to “U” if the grade reported is a “D” or “F”. Neither grades of “S” or “U” contribute to the grade point average. Only grades of “S” earn credit toward graduation.
///As to why your original lists F U U, I can only guess that the student is enrolled in three different courses. This part is just a guess.///
