The numerical system consists of the following scale. 4.0 - 3.5 - 3.0 - 2.5 - 2.0 - 1.5 - 1.0 - 0.0.
Grading Procedure of the Numerical System:
- Credit is awarded at the following minimum levels:
1.0 for undergraduate students.
2.0 for graduate students.
However, all grades are counted in the calculation of the grade-point average (GPA).
- The minimum cumulative grade-point average required for graduation is a 2.0 for undergraduates and 3.0 for graduate students.
- In particular graduate programs the number of 2.0 grades acceptable for credit may be expressly restricted and/or levels higher than the 2.0 minimum may be established for the fulfillment of degree requirements.
- Grades given in courses completed under enrollment on the numerical system cannot be converted to credit or no-credit under the credit-no credit system.
Since the novel coronavirus pandemic required significant changes to instruction, S-Satisfactory and NS-Not Satisfactory grades were made available to undergraduate and graduate students for Spring 2020, Fall 2021 and Spring 2021 classes. Summer 2021 S/NS grades were available for undergraduate students only.
S-Satisfactory – Credit granted represents a level of performance equivalent to 1.0 and higher for undergraduate students and 2.0 and higher for graduate students. NS-Not Satisfactory – No credit granted represents a level of performance below 1.0 for undergraduate students and below 2.0 for graduate students except for the College of Veterinary Medicine Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) students where NS represents performance below 1.0.
