Graduate Level Grading SystemPolicy Statement Grades that affect the QPA of the student
Grades that do not affect the QPA of the student
The average grade expected of graduate students is "B". Grades of "S" and "U" may be given to indicate satisfactory and unsatisfactory performance in institutes, seminar or practicum-type courses. No course in which the grade earned is less than "C" is credited toward the degree. A student who earns an "F" or "F*" grade in a required course needs to repeat that course; however, a course may be repeated only once. The definition and procedures governing an Incomplete (I) or "X" are the same as those stated in the grading system for the undergraduate level. The "IP" grade applies to Professional Contributions (555 - 0 credit) only. An "IP" will regularly be assigned for up to one year.
