Grading and Credits

Grades are reported for all students at the end of each semester. Students whose work is unsatisfactory at the midpoint of each semester receive warnings. Grades are neither discussed over the telephone nor given out by e-mail.

The following grading system is used, based on the 4.00 system:

	A = 4.0	A– = 3.7	Excellent
B+ = 3.3	B = 3.0	B– = 2.7	Good
C+ = 2.3	C = 2.0	C– = 1.7	Satisfactory
D+ = 1.3	D = 1.0	D– = 0.7	Unsatisfactory
F			Failure

CR	Credit
NC	No Credit
W	Official Withdrawal
IN	Incomplete
AU	Audit
R	Repeated Course
AP	Approved zero credit internship
NA	Not approved zero credit internship

All undergraduate degree requirements: Global Liberal Arts Core Curriculum (e.g., Writing and Criticism, French Language, Integrative Inquiry, Quantitative and Scientific reasoning), major and minor requirements require a minimum grade of C-. All undergraduate students must have a minimum overall 2.0 GPA (C average overall) to be eligible to earn their degrees.

For graduate students, any grade below a “B” is considered unsatisfactory, and graduate students must maintain a 3.00 grade point average to be in good academic standing. 

These grade requirements are effective for all students completing degree requirements from the catalog year of 2022-23 or later, regardless of their semester of matriculation.
