GRADES, GRADE POINTS, AND GRADE POINT AVERAGE

All work is graded by letters which may be interpreted as follows, including grade points for each Credit
hour.

B 3 3
C Good 2 3
D Average 1 3

Withdrew Failing

Note: There is a $10.00 drop fee for each course dropped.

T - Grade is given primarily for transfer credit through “Prior Learning Assessment and
Alternative studies.” It reflects hours being earned toward graduation but has no bearing
on the Student’s Grade Point Average (GPA).

I- Indicates that additional work must be done to receive a passing grade for the course or
program.

N - This grade may be given to those who are not taking the course for credit. This grade may
be changed to a standard letter grade if the appropriate additional fees are paid and all
work for the course completed.

WP- This indicates that the student has officially withdrawn from a course and was passing at
the time of withdrawal. A “WP” is not calculated as part of the student’s Grade Point
average (GPA).

WF- This indicates that the student was officially withdrawn from a course and was failing at
the time of withdrawal. No refund will be given for a WF.
