Grading Scale
- Only courses completed at ÃÛÌÒav or through certain approved cooperative programs, and assigned grades of A, B, C, D and F, are used in the grade point average (GPA) calculations.
- Quality points are assigned to letter grades such that A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=0. Quality points for individual courses are computed by multiplying the quality points assigned by an individual letter grade by the credit hours received for the course.
- The cumulative GPA is calculated by dividing the total quality points earned (QPTS) for all semesters by the total applicable credit hours (QHRS).

Graduate Grading System
A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on all graduate work taken at the University is required for graduation. Grades will indicate academic achievement as follows:
Grade Quality Points Evaluation A 4.0 Excellent B+ 3.5 Very Good B 3.0 Good C+ 2.5 Below Standard C 2.0 Unsatisfactory D 1.0 Poor; no credit toward degree allowed F 0.0 Failure AU 0.0 Audit; approved attendance without credit I 0.0 Incomplete PS 0.0 Pass; passing grade for credit-bearing courses taught or taken on a pass/fail or pass/no pass basis. The PS denotes a grade equivalent to an A or B. These grades will not be calculated in the student’s grade point average. NP 0.0 No Pass; non-passing grade for credit-bearing courses taught or taken on a pass/no pass basis - 0.0 quality points are non-punitive IP 0.0 In Progress; used for grading on-going projects and independent studies; will be converted to letter grade upon completion NR 0.0 Grade not reported by instructor W 0.0 Withdrawal WP/WF 0.0 Withdrawal Passing/Withdrawal Failing I_ 0.0 Inactive Grade; “I” preceding a grade denotes that the grade is not calculated in the GPA and cannot be applied to the graduate program -
Incomplete Grades
“I”/Incomplete – is a grade received because of non-completion of a course due to circumstances beyond the student’s control. Specific dates can be found on the Working Calendar.
For undergraduate level courses, the “I” automatically becomes an F if coursework is not completed prior to mid-semester of the next full semester for which the student is enrolled, or at the end of one calendar year, whichever is earlier.
For graduate level courses, the “I” automatically becomes an F if coursework is not completed by the end of the next full semester for which the student is enrolled, or at the end of one calendar year, whichever is earlier.
IP (In-Progress) - (Graduate Only) is a grade used for grading ongoing projects and independent studies; will be converted to letter grade upon completion.
