Grading Information
|
| Grading |
Grades will be recorded as an A, B, C, D or F in each course you complete.
In cooperative education and other designated courses, your achievement may be evaluated as an "S" or "U". In Developmental Education courses you may earn an "X" instead of "D" or "F". You also can earn an "AU", "W" or "I" (see the explanations below).
Each of your instructors should use the grading scale below and inform you of the grading scale at the beginning of each course. |
| |
| Grade Scale |
| The grades "A", "B", "C", "D" and "F" represent numerical and quality points according to the following: |
| |
| A- Superior |
94 - 100 |
4 quality points/credit hour |
| B - Above Average |
86 - 93 |
3 quality points/credit hour |
| C - Average |
78 - 85 |
2 quality points/credit hour |
| D - Below Average |
70 - 77 |
1 quality point/credit hour |
| F - Failure |
Below 70 |
0 quality points/credit hour |
| |
The grade "S" indicates successful achievement of the outcomes expected for the course and completion of the minimum requirements for the course. S - Satisfactory 78-100
The grade "U" represents unsatisfactory work and failure to complete minimum course requirements.
U - Unsatisfactory Below 78
The grade "AU" means you audited the course. To audit a course, you must indicate that you want to audit it when you register or before the end of the drop/add period for the term, or you must get the instructor's approval to change to an audit grade before the 5/8 point of the class.
The grade "I" is an incomplete, meaning you are passing a course but have not completed all the required course work. The instructor decides if you will get an "I". If you have an "I" grade, you must remove it before the 5/8 point of the term following the term you earned the "I". If the incomplete is not removed, you will get an "F" for the course.
The grade "W" indicates that you withdrew from the course.
The grade "X" indicates satisfactory progress in a course, but continuation in the course is required in order to satisfactorily complete the course. This grade is only used in developmental courses; therefore, it does not count in the GPA, nor does it count in courses completed for a certificate, diploma or degree.
The prefix "T" before a grade represents transfer credit to GTCC and will be shown on your transcript. Transfer credit may apply to your program requirements. Transfer credits are not used in calculating GPA.
The prefix "N" before a grade indicates forgiveness of that grade; these grades do not carry quality points and are not used in calculating GPA's; therefore, cannot be used to count toward graduation.
The prefix "P" - before a grade shows that you completed a course by proficiency exam. You earn credit towards graduation only for grades of "C" or better and/or "S". Proficiency credits are not used in calculating GPA.
The prefix "R" before a grade shows that you repeated a course; the letter grade(s) you earned in any previous attempts to pass the course will have an "R" prefix. Only the grade you earned the last time you took the course for credit will be calculated in your grade-point average. For those students who receive veterans education assistance, both grades are used in calculating your GPA. |
