There are twelve grades. The five passing grades at the undergraduate level are, A, B, C, D and S, representing varying degrees of achievement; these letters carry grade points and significance as follows:

Assigned by the instructor:

• A: Excellent, 4 grade points per semester hour
• B: Good, 3 grade points per semester hour
• C: Satisfactory, 2 grade points per semester hour
• D: Passing, 1 grade point per semester hour
• F: Failing, no grade points, hours included in GPR
• I: Incomplete, no grade points (hours not included in GPR)

Grades assigned if student is taking an undergraduate course S/U:

• S: Satisfactory (C or above), hours not included in GPR
• U: Unsatisfactory (D or F), no grade points, hours included in GPR)

Other:

• X: No grade submitted, see 10.6
• Q: Dropped course with no penalty, requires dean's permission, see 1.16
• W: Dropped course(s) with no penalty during the semester enrolled, hours not included in GPR, requires dean's permission, see (1.7, 1.18, 7.8, and 17)
• NG: No Grade. Administrative removal of posted grades requires approval by the dean of the college in which the student was enrolled during the semester in which the courses were taken. A NG requires extensive documentation of the extraordinary circumstances justifying the No Grade. The instructor of record, or the instructor's department head if the instructor is unavailable, will be consulted during the process. The registrar will, if possible, notify the instructor of record, and in any event will notify the instructor's department head, whenever a NG is issued.
