Hi all,
Carroll College’s grading policy is below. Our faculty is also exploring the possibility of a revised scheme, one that incorporates a +/- system and perhaps some additional changes to policies regarding our other grades. Should be an interesting discussion!
Best,
Cassie
Interpretation of Letter Grades
The grading system in use is an alphabetical system using the letters A, B, C, D, F, I, P, W, NR and AU. Grades are interpreted as follows:
A indicates excellence of performance in every aspect of the course
B indicates a better than satisfactory but less than excellent performance in every aspect of the course
C indicates a satisfactory performance in every aspect of the course
D indicates a less than satisfactory performance in some or all aspects of the course
F indicates serious deficiencies in some or all aspects of the course
I is given only under unusual circumstances which cause a delay in a student’s completion of a course. The student must be doing passing work before an “I“ (Incomplete) may be given. The student must make specific arrangements including completion date (no later than the end of the following semester) with the faculty member for the completion of the course. A formal written Request for Grade of Incomplete must be filed in the Office of the Registrar before the assignment of the grade as incomplete
P pass–indicates the requirements for a letter grade of “D” or higher have been met.
W withdrawal
NR not reported
AU audit student—no credit or grade.
Grade Points and Academic Average
A student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA) is calculated by using only those grades earned at Carroll. A student’s GPA average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points received by the total number of graded attempted credits. In computing this average, the following points are assigned each grade: “A,” 4 grade points per credit; “B,” 3 grade points per credit; “C,” 2 grade points per credit; “D,” one grade point per credit; and “F,” no grade points. Neither the notation “W” nor the grade “P” is computed when calculating the grade point average of a student.

Good Afternoon everyone!
Members of our faculty senate would like to review other institutions grading policies and want to know how you calculate GPA’s at your respective institution’s. I offered to pose the question to my fellow MACROA members.
If you can assist, it is appreciate!
