Academic Information

Grading Policy

Excellent. Indicates unusually high achievement. Students at this level, in addition to fulfilling the minimum requirements, give evidence of the ability to work independently, read rather widely on their own initiative, organize the materials of the course in relation to its wider implications, and give evidence of habitual errorless mastery.

A (90-95)

Very good/superior. Indicates achievement demonstrably above average and an intelligent fulfillment of course requirements in a manner that approaches the excellence of the highest grade.

B+ (85-89)

Good. Signifies a consistently high level of achievement and indicates that the course requirements have been fulfilled in an intelligent and above average manner.

B (80-84)

Very satisfactory. Signifies a more acceptable degree of understanding and achievement than a C+. Indicates that a student has mastered the basic course material, fulfilled assignments as required, and given evidence of mastery of the skills required for the course.

C+ (76-79)

Satisfactory. Signifies acceptable understanding and level of achievement of course material.

C (71-75)

Below satisfactory. Indicates understanding and achievement below the average level expected of students.
