For all of Fielding's graduate level academic programs, units of credit indicated on the transcript are computed on a semester basis. The unit of credit is the semester hour.
Credit is awarded in the term in which a grade is received by the Fielding administrative offices.
Grading System A Outstanding, original or excellent, demonstrating high competence and participation. B Substantial in quality, demonstrating basic competence and participation. No grade is recorded, and no units of credit are posted until the course is completed. Fielding's faculty assign grades to represent satisfactory completion of graduation requirements. Students are encouraged to continue their studies until competence has been demonstrated.
