Grading System
| A |
Designates work of exceptionally high quality. The "A" grade represents the highest level of academic attainment; it is given only for work of the highest quality. |
| B |
Designates work which is above average and of good quality. The "B" grade represents a high level of academic attainment; it is given for work which is above average but lacks the high quality of "A" work. |
| C |
Designates work which is satisfactory and of average quality. The "C" grade represents an adequate level of academic attainment; it is given for work which is acceptable but lacks the superior quality of "B" work. |
| D |
Designates work of less than satisfactory quality. The "D" grade represents a minimal level of academic attainment; it is given for work which is less than average in quality but is at least of sufficient quality to meet minimum standards in most courses and thus carries credit. However, in ENGL 102 Composition I, and ENGL 103 Composition II or ENGL 104H/ENGL 105H and courses within the Professional Education sequences, grades of "D" work do not meet the minimum standards and must be repeated. |
| F |
Designates work of such unsatisfactory quality that no credit is awarded. |
| FC |
|
| I |
Indicates that the student may have maintained a passing average, but for reasons beyond his or her control, some specific performance such as an examination, a report, a notebook, or experiment has not been completed. An instructor awards a student an "I" grade ONLY for a justifiable reason. An "I" grade carries no quality points. |
| IF |
Indicates an incomplete grade that was changed to a failing grade by the Registrar’s Office after the designated time had expired for the change. An "IF" grade carries no quality points. |
| IP |
Indicates that the student has not completed the Senior Honors Thesis/Project or certain Flight courses or not passed the PRAXIS to exit EDUC 400. Students may take two semesters to complete the Senior Colloquium Thesis/Project with an "IP" (In Progress) grade for the first semester. This same rule applies to the Flight courses that require additional participation beyond the end date for regular semesters. Students may take three semesters to complete EDUC 400. |
| P |
Passing (No credit courses.) |
| WA |
A "WA" grade will be assigned to a student who has been administratively withdrawn from a course or the university for disciplinary reasons and/or under special circumstances wherein administrative approval is required. |
| W |
Withdrawal. The grade of "W" is given to indicate withdrawal from a course by the designated deadline. |
| WD |
Withdrawal from the university. |
