Grading Policy
(Effective Fall 2024)
A student’s scholastic standing is determined by an evaluation of grades attained. Each credit hour has a quality equivalent. The student’s index equals the total number of quality points divided by the total number of credit hours for which the student has received quality points.

For zero credit courses and courses taught only with a Pass/Fail grading option, the "P" (Pass) grade represents proficiency-level work at an average or better equivalency.
*** "W" grade was not in use from Fall 2021 to August 2024
**** "WA" grade is retired from use, effective August 2024.
NOTE: "W" and "WF*" grades are recorded during the term. After the term ends, letter grades may not be converted to withdrawal grades. Incompletes may not be converted to withdrawal grades.
