Grading Policy

Awarding grades to students is the responsibility of the course instructor. The grading system and grade point equivalents are as follows:

A Excellent 4 grade points/unit
B Good 3 grade points/unit
C Satisfactory 2 grade points/unit
D Unsatisfactory 1 grade point/unit
F Failing 0 grade points/unit
FW Failing 0 grade points/unit

 

The FW grade indicates a failing grade because the student has ceased to participate in the class sometime after the withdrawal deadline. The FW grade is treated in the same manner as an F grade for the purposes of calculating grade point average, course repetition, and academic standings for probation/dismissal.

 

The following grades are not used in computing grade point average:

I Incomplete
W Withdrawal
MW Military Withdrawal
CR Credit
NC No Credit
IP In Progress
RD Report Delayed
