It is the same for all students taking the course. Instructors are expected to state their grading policies in writing at the beginning of each course. A An honor grade, indicates originality and independent work, a thorough mastery of the subject and the satisfactory completion of more work than is regularly required. B Indicates outstanding ability above the average level of performance. This is the lowest acceptable grade in an undergraduate course used in a graduate program.
C Indicates a satisfactory or average level of performance.
This is the lowest acceptable grade in a graduate-level course used in a graduate program. F Indicates failure. The pass grade indicates satisfactory completion of course requirements at either the undergraduate or graduate level. A pass grade does not affect your grade point average, but credits earned with pass grades may meet degree requirements and may be used as a measure of satisfactory progress. Satisfactory performance is the equivalent of a C grade or better in undergraduate coursework and B grade or better in graduate courses.
