Grading System
At the end of each semester, the grades and credits awarded are posted to your official academic record. Your grades may be accessed using WebDMC at www.delmar.edu/webdmc. Grades are not mailed to you.
At Del Mar College, grades are expressed in letters that are equated in points used in calculating the cumulative grade-point average. Del Mar College uses a four (4.0) point system of grading. Five grades (A, B, C, D, P) indicate that the course was completed for credit and a grade was awarded. Two grades (F, R) indicate that the course was not completed for credit and a grade was not awarded. Two grades (I, W) indicate that the course was attempted and not completed. One grade (AU) indicates that the course did not earn credit. One grade (CR) indicates credit earned for courses accepted toward program completion and graduation as a result of evaluation, credit by examination, or other validations of course-required knowledge and skills. One grade (X) indicates that a grade has not been assigned. The following system of final grades is used to report student performance.
