Grading System
Coursework will be graded as follows: A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+, D, F, I (incomplete), P (pass). The grade P, defined as equal to C or better, may be given for Fine Arts performance courses and laboratory courses, at the discretion of the instructor/department and for Education Department clinical courses and SigX internship and research cohort experiences. The following values are assigned to letter grades:
Grade | number value |
---|---|
A | 4.0 |
A- | 3.66 |
B+ | 3.33 |
B | 3.0 |
B- | 2.66 |
C+ | 2.33 |
C | 2.0 |
C- | 1.66 |
D+ | 1.33 |
D | 1.0 |
F | 0 |
Grades of P and grades for non-Gustavus courses are not calculated in the grade point average.
Gustavus does not have a College-wide policy regarding what percentage of points earned in a course equals each letter grade. Faculty should make that information available to their students.
