ungraduated

Lacking measurement lines

Ungraduated describes something that lacks graduated markings or divisions, such as a measuring cylinder or thermometer without incremental lines.

It can also describe a person who has not graduated from an educational institution, though this use is less common than the simpler didn't graduate.

In technical contexts, ungraduated may characterize a scale, tax, or system that does not progress through stages or levels: an ungraduated income tax applies the same rate to all earners.
