Grades can be accessed online via Campus Connection. Grades can be viewed and printed using the Course History Report under Advising Reports for Students. This comprehensive report can be used for corporate tuition reimbursement. Some companies may allow the student to log onto Campus Connection with a company representative present to verify grades for an individual term.
Following is the key to the system of evaluating the academic achievement by the student of the educational objectives specified by the instructor in the course syllabus. These definitions apply to the straight letter grade. A plus grade represents slightly higher achievement than the straight letter grade. A minus grade represents slightly lower achievement than the straight letter grade.
A The instructor judged the student to have accomplished the stated objectives of the course in an EXCELLENT manner.
B The instructor judged the student to have accomplished the stated objectives of the course in a VERY GOOD manner.
C The instructor judged the student to have accomplished the stated objectives
of the course in a SATISFACTORY manner.
D The instructor judged the student to have accomplished the stated objectives of the course in a POOR manner. (A grade of D will not fulfill the requirements in a major field of concentration.)
F The instructor judged the student NOT to have accomplished the stated
objectives of the course.
IN Temporary grade indicating that the student has a satisfactory record in work completed, but for unusual or unforeseeable circumstances not encountered by other students in the class and acceptable to the instructor is prevented from completing the course requirements by the end of the term. An incomplete grade may not be assigned unless the student has formally requested it from the instructor, and the instructor has given his or her permission for the students to receive an incomplete grade. At the end of the second quarter (excluding summer) following the term in which the incomplete grade was assigned, remaining incompletes will automatically convert to "F" grades. Ordinarily no incomplete grade may be completed after the grace period has expired. Instructors may not change incomplete grades after the end of the grace period without the permission of college-based Exceptions Committee.
ING Permanent grade assigned to a degree recipient who chooses not to resolve a grade of "IN" awarded during the last two terms prior to graduation. The grade of "ING" (Incomplete, Graduated) is final, and cannot be changed or lapsed to "F" once the degree is posted.
PA Passing achievement in a pass/fail course. (Grades A through D
represent passing performance.)
W Student initiated withdrawal from course. Automatically recorded when the student's withdrawal is processed after the deadline to withdraw without penalty.
WA Administrative withdrarwal.
WN Withdrawal due to non-attendance.
R Student is making satisfactory progress in a course that extends beyond the end of the term or in a project extending over more than one quarter. A grade of “R” for an undergraduate course must be removed within one calendar year. Grades not changed with one year will be reduced to the grade of F.
RG Permanent grade assigned to a degree recipient who chooses not to resolve a grade of "R" awarded during the last two terms prior to graduation. The grade of "RG" (Research, Graduated) is final, and cannot be changed or lapsed to "F" once the degree is posted
FX Student stopped attending course. This is an apparent withdrawal. The grade can be changed to a grade of W by the college administration without consulting the instructor if it is determined that the student attempted to withdraw but followed incorrect procedures, or on other administrative grounds. If not administratively removed, it is scored in the grade point average the same as an F. Students are advised to contact their college office to initiate the request to amend an FX grade. An FX grade may not be changed to a W if it has remained on the student’s record beyond twelve months except in extraordinary circumstances.
M Final grade not submitted.
AU Auditor status, not for credit.
