An A, B+ or a B is within the expected range of performance. A C is a marginal level of performance. To remain in good academic standing and to graduate, a student must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or more. Student performance will be reported to the University Registrar’s office as follows:
A Represents exceptionally high level of performance; four (4) quality points are awarded to each credit hour.
B+ Represents a high level of performance; three and one-half (3.5) quality points are awarded for each credit hour.
B Represents the minimum expected level of performance; three (3) quality points are awarded for each credit hours.
C Represents a marginal level of performance; two (2.0) quality points are awarded for each credit hour.
E Represents an unacceptable level of performance; zero (0) quality points are awarded for each credit hour.
P Represents a passing grade in courses taken on a pass/fail basis. It is not used in GPA calculations.
F Represents an unacceptable level of performance in courses taught on a pass/fail basis. It is not used in GPA calculations.
I Incomplete; course objectives have not been completed during the allotted course time due to circumstances usually beyond the student’s control. An I grade shall be conferred only when there is a reasonable possibility that a passing grade will result when work is completed. An I must be replaced by another grade within 12 months or before graduation, whichever occurs sooner. After this period, an I grade will automatically convert to an E or an F grade as appropriate.
W Withdrawn; this grade will be awarded to a student who withdraws from a course or from the college. It shall be awarded only after recommendation by the Academic Performance Committee and approval by the dean.
Responsible Agent: The Instructor of Record will evaluate the performance of each student with respect to the course objectives and assign the appropriate grades
