Grading System

(See Definition of Gradesand Enrollment on an Audit Basis in the Catalog Appendix.) Semester Credit-Hour Courses Grade Structure A =Excellent 4 grade points B =Above Average 3 grade points C =Average 2 grade points D =Below Average 1 grade point F = Failing 0 grade points 0 grade points I = Incomplete
The following grades are not computed in the grade point average. W =Approved Withdrawal CR = Credit NC = No Credit AU = Approved Audit A*-Credit A* B*-Credit B* C*-Credit C* D*-Credit D* F*-No F* Credit I*-Incomplete I*
Multiply the number of grade points for each grade by the number of credit hours for the course. Add the totals. Divide the total number of grade points by the total number of credit hours completed (including I grades). In the example above, you would divide 28 by 13 to get a grade point average of 2.153.
It is important to calculate your grade point average because you, as a student, are responsible for knowing when it affects your academic status. Remember that a 2.0 grade point average is the magic number that keeps you in good standing academically and with most financial aid donors. Grades are released through the web at the end of each long term, even if your classes were in a minimester or short summer session.

Incomplete Grades

If for some reason you cannot complete all the requirements for a course, you and the instructor may agree to a grade of I. The instructor will determine what work must be completed and you have four months from the end of the semester to complete the assignments and return them to the instructor, who will assign a final grade for the class. The I will then be converted on your transcript to the letter grade assigned. Until that time, the I is calculated as if the final grade were an F. 47
