Grading and the Credit System

Grades are awarded to indicate the quality of a student’s work and are assigned as follows (point values per credit hour appear in parentheses):

A	(4) = Excellent work.
B	(3) = Superior work.
C	(2) = Satisfactory work.
D	(1) = Minimum passing work.
F	(0) = No credit is given.
W	(0) = Course dropped without penalty.
P	(0) = Course passed under the Pass/Not Pass system.*
NP	(0) =Course not passed under the Pass/Not Pass system.*
I	(0) = A small portion of a course, such as a term paper or final examination not completed.
AU	(0) = Audited with no credit.
Z	(0) = Deferred grade to be given only to students enrolled in specific courses which may not be completed within a semester. If a Z grade is not removed within two calendar years (whether or not the student is enrolled), the grade becomes a W.
E	(0) = No credit - Academic Renewal.
XF	(0) = No credit is given. Failure due to academic dishonesty.

*P and NP grades are not calculated in the grade point average.
