A-F Grades

The university reports and records grades using the plus/minus letter system. Quality points are allocated to each recorded grade according to the following scale:

A = 4.00  B+ = 3.333  C+ = 2.333  D+ = 1.333  F = 0
A- = 3.667  B = 3.000 C = 2.000  D = 1.000
B- = 2.667  C- = 1.667  D- = 0.667

Programs requiring C or better grades will not accept a C- grade (unless specified otherwise). A student's grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credits attempted.

A grade of F is recorded when a student fails a course or withdraws from a course after the second withdrawal period unless, in the judgment of the dean of the instructor's college, the reasons for withdrawing a course warrant a W. Students who quit attending classes for which they are registered will receive Fs unless they officially withdraw from the courses by obtaining the appropriate signatures.
