Grading System and Progress Reports
Grades earned in each course are recorded on the student’s permanent record. Evaluation of student achievement is made in relation to the attainment of the specific objectives. At the beginning of a course, the instructor will provide students with a syllabus detailing these objectives and the basis upon which grades are determined. A cumulative grade point average (cGPA) of 2.00 is required for graduation from bachelor's degree programs and a 3.00 for master's degree programs. A student who fails a course is permitted to continue as long as the student makes satisfactory progress towards graduation.
To earn credits for a course, a student must earn a passing grade. For required courses, a passing grade is a 'C' or better. On a transcript, a grade of "F" and grades with an asterisk (*) are non-passing grades.
