A. Grading System
The grading system is based on the following system:
POINTS GRADES
90 – 100 = A
80 – 89 = B
70 – 79 = C
60 – 69 = D
Below 60 = F
Incomplete = I Only by instructor’s permission
Incomplete = I – the mark of “I” (incomplete) indicates that the student has not completed the requirements for the course due to an unavoidable circumstance that is acceptable to the instructor. If the “I” is not completed by one week before the first day of final exams for the next semester, the “I” becomes an “F” on the student’s record.
