The Committee on Examinations and Standing has drawn up the following guidelines on grading.
Additional information is available.
The evaluation of the student s performance in a course and a decision on the appropriate grade is the responsibility of the designated instructor or instructors in the course. No student should be given an extension of time or opportunities to improve a grade that are not available to all members of the class, except for verified illness or justified absence from campus. Students who have three scheduled final examinations in two consecutive calendar days may, however, take one of the examinations at another time. Except for scheduled exams, no course assignments may be due between the last day of classes and the last day of the final examination period. Students in independent study courses are not to be allowed an extension beyond the time when grades are due.
