GRADES Quality of course work is graded on the following scale: A indicates outstanding achievement; B, superior; C, average or satisfactory; D, the lowest passing grade; and F, Failure. A grade of pass, P, may be given in the event of acceptable work in certain limited classes. In the event of a pass, no grade point value is given to the student and the grade is not averaged in computing the over-all 1rrade point average. A system of grade points is used to determine a student 's general average or stand ing. Grade points are assigned to grades as follows: A, 4 grade points; B, 3 points; C, 2 points; D, 1 point; F, 0 points. A "W" indicates a withdrawal from a course with a passing grade. Students mu st submit a written petition to the registrar's office with a recommendation from the instructor to withdraw from a course. Where unexcused absences have accrued, petition will be denied. A "WF" (withdrawal failure) is recorded in cases where withdrawa l has not been approved or the student is not doing passing work. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register but do not attend classes are automatically given the grade of "UW" which will influence the grade average the same as an F. 26
