Academic Standards
Grading System
Grade points are a measure of the quality of the academic work completed just as quarter units are a measure of the quantity of academic work completed. The University uses a letter grade to indicate the level of individual student achievement. Each letter grade has a point value assigned for the grade achieved. The point value is as follows:
Excellent Work
A: 4.0 grade points
A‑: 3.7 grade points
B+: 3.3 grade points
Good Work
B: 3.0 grade points
B‑: 2.7 grade points
Satisfactory Work
C+: 2.3 grade points
C: 2.0 grade points
Below satisfactory work but acceptable
C‑: 1.7 grade points
Unsatisfactory work, barely passing
D+: 1.3 gragde points
D: 1.0 grade point
Failure, no credit
F: 0.0
I: Incomplete
W: Withdrawal, no credit
Incomplete Work
No grade points are given when a student receives an incomplete "I". A student's failure to satisfy all of the course requirements by the end of the following quarter will result in a failing grade.
