Official Grading Policies:
Grades:
A | achievement that is outstanding relative to the level necessary to meet course requirements. |
B | achievement that is significantly above the level necessary to meet course requirements. |
C | achievement that meets the course requirements in every respect. |
D | achievement that is worthy of credit even though it fails to meet fully the course requirements. |
S | achievement that is satisfactory, which is equivalent to a C- or better (achievement required for an S is at the discretion of the instructor but may be no lower than a C-). |
F (or N) | Represents failure (or no credit) and signifies that the work was either (1) completed but at a level of achievement that is not worthy of credit or (2) was not completed and there was no agreement between the instructor and the student that the student would be awarded an I (see also I) |
I | Incomplete. Assigned at the discretion of the instructor when, due to extraordinary circumstances, e.g., hospitalization, a student is prevented from completing the work of the course on time. Requires a written agreement between instructor and student. |
Academic dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty in any portion of the
academic work for a course shall be grounds for awarding a grade of F
or N for the entire course.
Credits:
One credit is defined as equivalent to an average of
three hours of learning effort per week (over a full semester)
necessary for an average student to achieve an average grade in the
course. For example, a student taking a four credit course that meets
for three hours a week should expect to spend an additional nine hours
a week on coursework outside the classroom.
