Article 3—Academic Policies and Regulations
Part 1. Grades and Grading System
§ 3-102 Grading System—Grades Authorized for All Colleges
Excellent (A+, A, A-); Good (B+, B, B-); Fair (C+, C, C-); Poor
(D+, D, D-) (lowest passing grade); Failure (F) (not acceptable
for degree credit), including courses dropped for academic irregularities
(see § 1-402); Absent from the final examination without an
acceptable excuse ABS (counts as a failure, not acceptable for degree
credit). If a student is absent from a final examination, and it
is clear that taking that examination could not have resulted in
a passing grade for the course, a grade of F may be given instead
of ABS. The A+ grade standing alone should not be used to designate Honors Credit (See section 3-703). It should only be used to designate superior academic performance in a course/section not certified as an honors course/section by the offering department. It should not be used for Honors Credit Learning Agreements. To recognize superior academic performance in a course so designated, the appropriate grade is A+H.
