Grading System

A student's progress within a program will be evaluated on the basis of the grade point average (GPA). For purposes of calculation, the grade point (GP) earned in a half-credit course will be given one-half weight of that earned in a full-credit course. Likewise the GP earned in a quarter-credit course will be given one-quarter weight of that earned in a full-credit course.

Letter grades, and their Grade Point equivalents are as follows:

Letter Grades Grade Points
A+ 12
A 11
A- 10
B+ 9
B 8
B- 7
C+ 6
C 5
C- 4
D+ 3
D 2
D- 1
F 0

Where letter grades are derived from percentages, the following conversion will be adopted unless the instructor announces otherwise, in writing, at the outset of a course.

Grades Conversion
A+ 90-100
A 85-89
A- 80-84
B+ 77-79
B 73-76
B- 70-72
