Grading

Each instructor has the option of using a grading method within each course that best meets the needs of students and the subject. However, all grades are translated by instructors into the following grades:

A Excellent This grade is assigned 4.0 quality points per semester
A- Excellent This grade is assigned 3.7 quality points per semester hour.
B+ Above Average This grade is assigned 3.3 quality points per semester hour.
B Above Average This grade is assigned 3 quality points per semester hour.
B- Average This grade is assigned 2.70 quality points per semester hour.
C+ Average. This grade is assigned 2.3 quality points per semester hour.
C Average. This grade is assigned 2 quality points per semester hour.
C- Below Average This grade is assigned 1.7 quality points per semester hour.
D+ Minimally Passing. This grade is assigned 1.3 quality points per semester hour.
D Minimally Passing. This grade is assigned 1 quality point per semester hour.
F Failure or failure to withdraw. No quality points are assigned.
I Incomplete. This grade is to be assigned only when the instructor has been presented with serious and compelling reasons why the student should be allowed to complete the course at a later date. These reasons are customarily medical. The I grade is not an automatic extension. An I grade which has not been made up by the sixth week of the subsequent term, excluding summer terms, will be changed automatically to F.
P Pass. Pass/fail grades are available only in courses designated as pass/fail. Grades of P are not counted toward quality point averages.
X No Grade Submitted.  
W Withdrawal. Indicates that the student withdrew by the tenth week of class in the Office of Student Records. No credit is awarded.
AU Audit Complete.  
AI Audit Incomplete.  
AP Advanced Placement.  
EX Exempt from course requirement.  
FA Audit Failed.  
IP In Progress. An IP grade may be granted for certain courses that typically are longer than a normal semester.
