Undergraduate Grading System

* No quality points are assigned and these notations have no effect on a student's quality point average or index. To attain a grade of "P," a student must perform at a level equivalent to "C" or better. The "MP" grade represents a level of performance lower than "C," but higher than "F."

** The Incomplete is reserved for those cases which are of an exceptional and/or serious nature. The Incomplete is not assigned in a case where failure to complete the course requirements, including the final examinations, on time is due to student delinquency and is not given to allow a student the opportunity to improve his/her work.

Ordinarily, it is the student's responsibility to request this grade from the instructor. The granting of this request is at the discretion of the instructor, and it is the student's responsibility to complete the course requirements within the time span set by the instructor. This time span may extend no later than two-thirds of the way through the following term, and the instructor must submit the final grade to the Registrar no later than one week prior to the next scheduled final examination period.

Grades officially submitted to the Registrar are final. Requests for a change of grade necessitated by clerical, computational, or other documented error must be submitted in writing by the faculty member to the Academic Dean. The requested change will become effective when the approval of the Dean has been filed with the Registrar.

Final grade reports are sent to the students as soon as possible after the grades have been reported to the Registrar's Office.
