The letters A+ through C- are used for credit for a course; the letter P (Pass) is the passing grade for field courses. The following numeric point system is being used. A+=4.33
A =4.00
A- =3.67
B+=3.33
B =3.00
B- =2.67
C+=2.33
C =2.00
C- =1.67
A cumulative grade point average of B or 3.0 in the Foundation curriculum is required for graduation as well as for progression into the Advanced curriculum. Every credit hour below a 3.0 must be balanced by a credit hour above 3.0, unless it is repeated. When a course is repeated, the new grade, whether higher or lower, replaces the old grade and becomes the grade of record for calculating the grade point average. A course, regardless of the grade, may be repeated one time only. The grade of F indicates failure to achieve a satisfactory level of performance and the course must be repeated. The original F grade remains on the student's permanent record, but it is the subsequent passing grade that is used to compute grade point average. Thus, a grade F cannot be balanced. A final course grade lower than a C- is automatically converted to an F. Incomplete grades are given under exceptional circumstances to students whose work in a course has been qualitatively satisfactory, but who, because of illness or other circumstances beyond their control, have been unable to complete all the course requirements. In general, incomplete grades must be cleared within six weeks after the end of the semester in which the "I" was assigned. Any incomplete grades remaining at the end of that period will convert to "F". Grade of Pass (P) is awarded to MSW field education courses to denote satisfactory completion of requirements. Courses assigned the grade of "P" will not be computed in the student's grade point average. No Mark (N/M) indicates that the Instructor has not yet submitted the final grade.
