Grading System Conversion of Letter Grades to Grade Points Grade Reports Minimum Grade Point Average Change in Grades
| A A- | Excellent |
| B+ B B- | Good |
| C+ C C- | Satisfactory (C- will not satisfy requirements that require a C (2.0) or better) |
| D | Passing |
| F | Failure |
| WF | Withdrew, failing. This grade indicates that the student was permitted to withdraw from the course while doing unsatisfactory work. Withdrawal from a course under these circumstances is equivalent to a failure. This grade is included in the academic average. |
| I | Incomplete. This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work but, for non-academic reasons beyond his/her control, was unable to meet the full requirements of the course. An Incomplete should not ordinarily be given unless the student has completed a substantial part of the course. The instructor of the course should indicate to the student the deadline for completing the work in the course. No more than three semesters (counting summer school as one semester) may be allowed to complete the work in the course, but the instructor may specify an earlier deadline. If an I is not satisfactorily removed after three semesters (counting summer school as one semester), the symbol I will be changed to the grade F (or U for a course graded S/U) by the Registrar. |
| WP | Withdrew, passing. This grade indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw from a course and was passing the course at the time of the withdrawal. Withdrawals with a passing grade will not be permitted after the withdrawal deadline of the semester (date to be specified in the Schedule of Classes) except in cases of hardship as determined by the appropriate official. |
| S | This symbol indicates satisfactory participation in certain required courses. Normally S grades are given in a limited number of professional, seminar, or graduate-level courses. Credit is included in hours earned. The grade is not included in the academic average. |
| U | This symbol indicates unsatisfactory performance in certain required courses in which S grades may normally be given. No credit is given. The grade is not included in the academic average. |
| V | This symbol indicates an audit. No credit is given. The grade is not included in the academic average. |
| K | This symbol indicates that a student was given credit for the course via a credit by examination program approved by the faculty; e.g., CLEP, AP, Proficiency, etc. |
| ER | This symbol indicates an error in reporting. ER's not removed by the end of the semester subsequent to their assignment will be converted to grades of WF. |
| NR | This symbol indicates that a grade was not received by the Registrar's Office in time for processing. The NR symbol will be replaced by a grade upon receipt of an official grade change form from the instructor. |
| WM | This symbol indicates a military withdrawal due to involuntary activation. |
The cumulative grade point average is based on all residence hours attempted at the University exclusive of S and U grades.

Conversion of Letter Grades to Grade Points
For purposes of computing the grade-point average, letter grades are
converted into numerical equivalents:
| A | = 4.00 | |
| A- | = 3.70 | |
| B+ | = 3.30 | |
| B | = 3.00 | |
| B- | = 2.70 | |
| C+ | = 2.30 | |
| C | = 2.00 | |
| C- | = 1.70 | |
| D | = 1.00 | |
| F | = 0 | |
| WF | = 0 |
All other grades or symbols are excluded from computation of one's grade-point average.

Grade Reports
Students may access their grades through OASIS. Grade reports are no longer mailed except for students who request them through OASIS prior to the
end of the examination period. Requested grade reports will be mailed only once per term at the
end of the full semester after the grade reporting deadline.
Minimum Grade Point Average
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required to meet all undergraduate graduation requirements. A student will not be approved for graduation if he or she has a grade of I which, when changed to a recorded grade, could cause the student's grade point average to fall below the minimum required for graduation. This policy applies to students for all degrees conferred by the University.
Change in Grades
A grade in a course recorded by the Registrar cannot be changed except in the following circumstances:
