Grades
SCS grades are A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, W, X, Y,
V (and P and N, which are not applicable to Professional
Development Program courses).
The School of Continuing Studies has no fixed guidelines
on computing grades for academic performance. It is solely
at the discretion of the instructor to assess and formulate
a fair grading scale.
“W” indicates official withdrawal. If a student
informs the instructor that he/she is withdrawing from
the course, the instructor should remind the student that
they must contact the SCS Registration office to withdraw
from the course officially. Informing only the instructor
of intention to withdraw will not be recognized as an official
withdrawal and the student will be held liable for tuition
and fees.
“X” indicates that the student has failed
to complete the course and has failed to secure your permission
to take an incomplete. This failure may exist because the
student unofficially withdrew at some point during the
semester (e.g. stopped coming to class), failed to complete
enough work to merit even the grade of F, or the student
missed the final exam without giving advance notice.
“Y” indicates that the course has not been
completed by the student and arrangements have been made
to complete coursework in order to receive a final grade
(See guidelines below).
“V” indicates that the student is an auditor.
Bachelor's degree students have a Pass/No Pass option.
Students who meet certain guidelines are permitted to enroll
on a P/N basis. Faculty members will not ordinarily be
aware of the student's P/N (Pass/No Pass) enrollment, and
should report regular letter grades for all students. The
computer will translate those grades to P or N.
Please note: As students occasionally question the accuracy
or fairness of final grades, SCS faculty is required to
keep all graded papers and examinations that have not been
returned to students for at least six months following
the end of the semester. Additionally, extra exams should
be kept for make-up purposes.
