Grading Policy

All assessments and course grades are recorded to the hundredths decimal point (2 decimal points) Example: 69.77656 will be recorded as a 69.78 and a 3.456 GPA will be recorded as a 3.46. There is no rounding of grades involving whole numbers (ones, tens, and hundreds digits). Therefore, students will need to achieve a whole number grade which equals or surpasses the benchmark listed. For example, a 69.987, recorded as a 69.99 is a final grade of an “F”.

The Course Director will make all final decisions regarding student grades. Failure to comply with all aspects of the course goals, learning objectives, and other attributes described in the course syllabus may adversely affect the student’s grade.

  • A = 90 and above
  • B+ = 87-89.99
  • B = 80-86.99
  • C+ = 77-79.99
  • C = 70-76.99
  • F = 0-69.99
  • I = Incomplete
