- D+ (72-73)
- D (67-71 Below Average Achievement)
- D- (65-66)
- F (0-64 Failing)
- I (Incomplete, An incomplete will be assigned when the student has made arrangements with the instructor of the course to submit assignments after the close of the semester. Such work must be completed within six weeks from the last day of the semester, otherwise, an “I” becomes an “F”. If the student fails to make prior arrangements for submitting late work, his grade for the unsubmitted work will be zero.)
A grade submitted by the instructor of the course to the Office of the Academic Dean becomes official, and may not be changed except in the case of a clerical error. Such change must be authorized by the instructor and approved by the Academic Dean.
Quality Points
To be eligible for graduation, a student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C). The GPA is based upon quality points earned. Quality points are assigned as follows:
- A ………. 4.0 points per hour
- A- ………. 3.7 points per hour
- B+ ………. 3.3 points per hour
- B ………. 3.0 points per hour
- B- ………. 2.7 points per hour
- C+ ………. 2.3 points per hour
- C ………. 2.0 points per hour
- C- ………. 1.7 points per hour
- D+ ………. 1.3 points per hour
- D ………. 1.0 points per hour
- D- ………. 0.7 points per hour
- F ………. 0.0 points per hour
The GPA is computed by dividing total quality points by the total hours (including failures).
