At the end of each term, faculty members are responsible for reporting grades for each course to the Registrar’s Office. The report to students is made shortly thereafter.

Grades are given with the following significance (numerical equivalents based on a 100 point scale):

A	Excellent (90-100 points)	4
B	Good (80-89 points)	3
C	Satisfactory (70-79 points)	2
D	Poor (60-69 points) lowest passing grade	1
F	Failure (below 60 points)	0
P	Pass (not computed in GPA)	0
W	Withdrawal (not computed in GPA)	0
I	Incomplete (not computed in GPA, see Incomplete Grades below)	0
WF	Withdrawal Failure (computed in GPA, see Adding and Dropping Courses (After the Late Registration Period).)	0
AUD	Audit (not computed in GPA)	0

At the discretion of the faculty member, a student may be given an incomplete grade for work not completed if the incomplete work is unavoidable and not caused by the student’s negligence. If a student receives an incomplete in a course, it is not necessary for the student to register for that course the following term in order to complete the requirements for the course. However, without an extension an incomplete that is not removed during the following semester will automatically be changed to an "F."

Extensions beyond one semester require the written permission of the course faculty member and consent of the department chair. This written permission, using the General Petition form available from the Registrar, must be submitted to the Registrar before the end of the semester following receipt of the incomplete grade.

It is the responsibility of the student to contact the faculty member of the course to make arrangements for the removal or extension of the incomplete grade. An incomplete grade computes neither hours nor quality points toward the student’s grade point average or course requirements for graduation.

The University reports grades in letter and grade point average. In order to compute a grade-point-average (GPA):

5. Total the quality points.

Grade point averages serve as criteria for continued enrollment at the University, academic honors, and graduation.

Grades for completed work may not be changed after they have been reported to the Registrar’s Office unless it is discovered that an error has been made. A faculty member must report the error immediately using a Change of Grade Request form.
