Grade Range and Definitions

The normal grading range is from 55 to 100. The number grades correspond to letter grades as reflected in the chart below. The minimum passing grade is 70 (C). Any grades between 55 and 69 (D and F) are considered failing grades for which unit credit is not earned. While unit credit is not earned for a failing grade, point value is assigned for a D and an F for purposes of computing grade point averages.

Definition of Grading Notations
D = Equivalent to a failing grade and no unit credit is awarded. However, for purposes of computing grade point averages, point value is earned.
F = Fail -- Failing grade is included in the calculation of grade point averages but unit credit and point value are not earned.
H = Grade withheld.
I = Incomplete -- the course requirements have not been met.
NS = No grade was submitted.
P = Pass -- unit credit is received for the course but the units are not computed in the grade point averages. View "Pass" grade policy.
R = Repeated course -- the new grade replaces the previous one in the computation of the grade point averages; the previous grade remains recorded on the transcript.
W = Withdrew from the course.
