We take all aspects of your academic performance into account when giving grades. That includes class attendance, participation, reports, projects, and test grades.
Our constant evaluation, aided by a low faculty-to-student ratio, helps us find learning deficiencies before the end of the course. That helps our instructors give you individual help if you need it. Final exams ae usually scheduled for the last week of the fall and spring terms. We may give comprehensive exams in major fields of concentration during the final semester of the senior year.

Final grades are recorded on the student’s permanent record after each semester and at the end of the summer school session. The grading system is as follows:

|---|---|---|---|
| A | Superior | 4 | 93 - 100 |
| A- | 3.7 | 90 - 92 | |
| B+ | 3.3 | 87 - 89 | |
| B | Good | 3 | 83 - 86 |
| B- | 2.7 | 80 - 82 | |
| C+ | 2.3 | 77 - 79 | |
| C | Satisfactory | 2 | 73 - 76 |
| C- | 1.7 | 70 - 72 | |
| D+ | 1.3 | 67 - 69 | |
| D | Passing | 1 | 60 - 66 |
| F | Failing | 0 | 59 and Lower |
| F | Failure | ||
| I | Incomplete | ||
| W | Withdrew | ||
| NG | No Grade | ||
| WF | Withdraw Failing | ||
| AU | Audit |
Calculating Grade Point Average
For the purpose of computing a student's grade point average, four quality points are given for each semester hour of A, 3 for each hour of B, 2 for each hour of C, and 1 for each hour of D. A grade of F or WF is counted as zero. The grade point average is calculated by dividing the hours attempted by the total quality points.
Note: A student may earn no more than two grades of D+ or below in the courses of a major, including ancillary courses, and only one grade of D+ or below in the courses of a minor. An ancillary course is any course selected from among several course options that can be taken to fulfill the requirements of a major.
Incomplete Grade
A grade of "I" (Incomplete) is assigned by the instructor when a student is unable to complete a course due to extenuating circumstances and when all requirements can be completed in a short time following the end of a term. In the absence of justifiable cause, an incomplete grade will not be assigned. In order to receive an incomplete grade, a student must process a Request for Incomplete Grade form.
The student is responsible for making arrangements with the instructor to complete the course requirements and remove the incomplete grade within eight weeks following the term in which the incomplete grade was received. The eight-week period is the maximum time allowed, and the instructor should establish an earlier date, if possible. Students who fail to complete the course requirements within the prescribed period will automatically receive a grade of F for the course.
Incomplete grades are not included in the calculation of a student's grade point average. Upon completion of the course requirements, the incomplete grade will be removed, and the final course grade will be used to compute the student's grade point average.
