Grades and Quality Points

The following scale of letter grades is used:

"A" is Excellent
"B" is Good
"C" is Satisfactory
"D" is Deficient
"F" is Failing
"I" indicates incomplete.
"W" indicates that the student withdrew by the calendar date specified in each semester; courses dropped after this date will carry a grade of "F."
"AU" indicates audit.

Certain courses may be elected on a "P" (Pass) and "F" (Fail) basis.
Grades of "P" do not affect the grade point average.

Grade point values are assigned to the letter grades for each semester hour of instruction:

"A" = 4
"B" = 3
"C" = 2
"D" = 1
"F" = 0

In determining grade point averages, the total number of quality points earned is divided by the total number of semester hours attempted for which quality point values are assigned. At mid-semester, students enrolled in 100 and 200 level courses are informed of academic progress by mid-term grade reports. At the close of the semester, final grades are reported to students and become a part of the permanent academic record.
