TL;DR — WIP GAP
WIP GAP stands for work-in-progress grade abatement profile. It refers to a provisional score entered into the online gradebook. Click on provisional in that sentence, and you’ll see why we’d use that adjective: This score should be changed later by the student’s further choices.
The use of a WIP GAP score, as opposed to the scheduled GAP score, is often because students have failed to meet the basic requirements of the course. For example, students may have failed to read assigned texts, to complete assigned analysis, or to use class time effectively.
