Graduate comprises any course work attempted while pursuing a master’s and/or doctoral degree. Undergraduate comprises freshman (less than 32 units earned) sophomore (32–63.9 units earned) junior (64–95.9 units earned) and senior (at least 96 units earned). There are four categories of class level: Undergraduate, Graduate, Law and Other. Grade Point Average is calculated and truncated it is not rounded. Marks of CR, NC, P, NP, W, IP, MG and IN do not affect a student’s grade point average. Wherever these letter grades appear in this catalogue or other university documents, they represent the numerical equivalents listed above. Grade points are assigned to grades as follows for each unit in the credit value of a course: A, 4 points A-, 3.7 points B+, 3.3 points B, 3.0 points B-, 2.7 points C+, 2.3 points C, 2 points C-, 1.7 points D+, 1.3 points D, 1 point D-, 0.7 points F, 0 points UW, 0 points IX, 0 points.

Grade Point Average Categories and Class LevelsĪ system of grade points is used to determine a student’s grade point average. The following marks are also used: W - withdrawn IP - interim mark for a course exceeding one semester (failure to complete courses in which marks of IP appear will be assigned grades of NC) UW -unofficial withdrawal (assigned to students who stopped attending prior to the drop deadline but failed to withdraw) MG - missing grade (an administrative mark used in cases when the instructor fails to submit a final course grade for a student) IN - incomplete (work not completed because of documented illness or some other emergency occurring after the twelfth week of the semester arrangements for the IN and its completion should be initiated by the student and agreed to by the instructor prior to the final exam) IX - lapsed incomplete. Additional grades include: CR - credit (passing grade for non-letter-graded courses equivalent to C- quality or better for undergraduate courses and B (3.0) quality or better for graduate courses) NC - no credit (less than the equivalent of a C- for an undergraduate and a B for a graduate, non-letter-graded course) P – pass (passing grade equivalent to C- quality or better for undergraduate letter-graded courses and B (3.0) quality or better for graduate courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis) NP – no pass (less than the equivalent of a C- for an undergraduate and a B (3.0) for a graduate, letter graded course taken on a Pass/No Pass basis).

Minimum passing grades are D- for undergraduate credit and C for graduate credit. The grade of F indicates that the student failed at the end of the semester or was doing failing work and stopped attending the course after the twelfth week of the semester.
#STANDARD GRADING PERCENTAGES PLUS#
In addition, plus and minus grades may be used, with the exceptions of A plus, F plus and F minus. The following grades are used: A - excellent B - good C - fair in undergraduate courses and minimum passing in courses for graduate credit D - minimum passing in undergraduate courses F - failed.
