GRADING SYSTEM

TRADITIONAL GRADING/SCHOLARSHIP QUALITY POINTS

Eight traditional grade indices are used: A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F, in descending order with F indicating academic failure. Letter grades carry weighted scholarship points as follows:

A=4 points,
B+=3.5 points,
B=3 points,
C+=2.5 points,
C=2 points,
D+=1.5 points,
D=1 point and
F=0 points

per credit hour attempted. Weighted scholarship points are not awarded for courses graded on the credit/no credit system. "W", awarded as a result of withdrawing from a course prior to completion, is not computed in the GPA. (Also see sections on withdrawal, change of schedule, grade average computation and re-registered courses.)
