Grading Policy

If a student withdraws from a course during the semester due to an emergency, and has completed three-quarters of the class requirements with a passing grade, he/she will be allowed to write the final exam within the first six weeks of the next semester; otherwise the grade will become an "F".

Point System

The 4.0 System of awarding academic credit is used. One credit hour is awarded for a class meeting one hour per week for a semester, two credit hours for a class which meets two hours per week, etc.

Quality points are awarded using the following scale:

• 4 points for each credit hour of A-grade work
• 3 points for each credit hour of B-grade work
• 2 points for each credit hour of C-grade work
• 1 points for each credit hour of D-grade work
• 0 points for each credit hour of F-grade work

Grade point averages are determined by dividing quality points by credit hours.
