Grading and Grade Points

Faculty measures the quality of academic work through letter grades, which equate to numerical point values, creating a “grade point average.字母等级可以通过使用加号(+)和减号(-)修饰符来调整. Beyond completion of reading, writing, performance or lab assignments and class participation, the following statements broadly suggest the meaning of the letter grades. 教师可以根据其课程的特殊性将这些陈述置于语境中.

Letter Grade Definitions:

A = superior performance (4 grade points). 学生的工作通过制定新知识或对现有知识的独特评估而超过课程学习成果, upholding the highest standards of scholarship, exhibiting unusual creativity, and/or including profound application to personal experience.

B = very good performance (3 grade points). 学生的工作符合所有课程的学习成果，表现出对主题的透彻理解, employing competent scholarship, contributing well-reasoned conclusions and syntheses on course subjects, and/or reflecting on implications for personal perspectives.

C = satisfactory performance (2 grade points). 学生的作业通过对主题的可接受的理解和相对较少的推理错误来满足课程的大部分学习成果, demonstrating adequate awareness of scholarly expectations, and/or applying the subject of the course to personal experience.

D = inferior performance (1 grade point). 学生的作业不符合课程的一些学习成果，显示出对主题的理解存在重大差距, lack of consistent use of scholarly conventions, and/or little personal application.

F = unacceptable performance (0 grade points). 学生的作业未能达到课程的学习成果，表现出对主题的理解不足, poor use of scholarly conventions, and/or inability to connect the subject matter to personal experience.

P/NP = Pass/No Pass
I = Incomplete
IP = In Progress
R = Registrar received no grade
W = Withdraw
X = No Basis for Grade
AU = Audit

加或减成绩可以在成绩单上注明，但不会影响平均成绩的计算.

Incomplete Grades

只有当学生满足以下条件时，才可以给出不完整(“I”):1)在申请日期之前令人满意地完成了所有课程作业，至少获得了2分.0 GPA in the assigned work for the course, 2)由于学生无法控制的因素而无法完成其他要求. 只有将填妥并获批准的“不完整申请表”提交档案室后，“I”方可获批. Incompletes must be filed before finals begin. An Incomplete taken in the fall semester must be completed by the end of the following spring semester; an Incomplete taken in the spring or summer semester must be completed by the end of the following fall semester. If the incomplete work is not completed within the stated time frame, the Registrar will automatically change the “I” to an “F.”

In Progress Grades

In Progress (“IP”) is offered only for research or thesis courses, internships, study trips, Independent Study, and summer semester courses. In order to issue an “IP” grade, 注册主任必须收到由学生和教师签署的完成工作的合同. An In Progress taken in the fall semester must be completed by the end of the following spring semester; an In Progress taken in the spring or summer semester must be completed by the end of the following fall semester. If the in-progress work is not completed within the stated time frame, the Registrar will automatically change the “IP” to an “F.“未经学术政策委员会批准，延期不得超过规定的期限.
