New Grading Policy

 
A new grading policy has gone into effect beginning with the Fall 2010 semester (including M1 and AHEAD 1 Terms) and any following semesters:
  • The grade of C- will now be an available grading option for Undergraduate Courses
  • The Quality Points for each grade have been changed (Quality Points are used to calculate GPA). QPA change applies to both Undergraduate and Graduate courses.
  •  A numerical range has been defined for each grade for Undergraduate courses
The New Grading System follows:
