Grading System

Grades of A, B, C, D, S, and P are passing grades.

Grades of F and U are failing grades.

Grades of P, R, S, and U apply only to Developmental Studies courses.

Grades of I mean Incomplete; that is, the student was unable to finish the course after having completed nearly all of the work and has been granted a one-semester extension. When the student completes the work, the instructor for the class will submit a new grade. After one semester, a grade of I will revert to an F, if the work has not been completed.

Grades of W are shown on a transcript when a student has withdrawn from a class after the initial add and drop period in the semester. A W does not affect the student's grade point average but may affect Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid.

Normally, if a student transfers to a four-year college or university, only grades of A, B, and C will be accepted for credit in courses equivalent to those offered at the four-year college or university.

The recommended numerical range for each letter grade is as follows:

• A - 91 - 100
• B - 81 - 90
• C - 71 - 80
• D - 61 - 70
• F - 60 or below

Instructors are not required to follow this recommended scale; however, if an instructor plans to deviate from these figures, the students will be informed in the class syllabus at the beginning of the term.

Grade Reports
