Policy on Grading

Only courses with a grade of “C-”, or higher, will contribute to credit-hour requirements and GPA. All courses shall be graded on a nine-point scale. Undergraduate courses will not count towards credits earned or GPA. Below is a table that shows our nine-point scale and how it can convert to a four-point scale.

9.0 Scale	4.0 Scale
9 = A+	4.0 = A+
8 = A	4.0 = A
7 = A-	3.7 = A-
6 = B+	3.3 = B+
5 = B	3.0 = B
4 = B-	2.7 = B-
3 = C+	2.3 = C+
2 = C	2.0 = C
1 = C-	1.7 = C-
