GRADUATE POLICIES
• The student has failed an elective course and the Chair approves the substitution of an alternate elective (providing the program has defined electives). The old grade can be removed from the GPA by changing to CK, ZK or FK.
In any other case, the approval for changing a grade may be done with the approval of the Provost. Documentation of the change shall be sent to the Graduate Academic Advisor and placed in the student’s file for historical record. Questions regarding financial aid and veterans benefits should be directed to the Financial Aid office.
GRADING GUIDELINES
The assignment of a letter grade for a course is an indication of the student’s overall success in achieving the learning outcomes for the course. The course letter grade may be viewed as a summary statement of the student’s achievement in individual assessments (assignments and activities). These assessments are intended to identify for students their strengths as well as those areas in need of improvement. Students work is assessed according to the guidelines below.
Course-level Grading Guidelines: A ………………….95 – 100% of the total possible points.
A- …………………90 – 94% of the total possible points. B+ ………………... 87 – 89% of the total possible points. B …………………..84 – 86% of the total possible points. B- ………………….80 – 83% of the total possible points. C …………………..70 – 79% of the total possible points. F ………………….<70% of the total possible points.
