“A”, “A-”, “B+”, “B”, “B-”, “C+”, “C”, “D”, and “F” carry quality points of 4.0, 3.67, 3.33, 3.0, 2.67, 2.33, 2.0, 1.0, and 0, respectively. Instructors are required to list in each course syllabus their bases for determining course grades. Similarly, any deviation from standard grading practice must be made known to all students within a course, preferably in writing, in order to insure that the standard of equality of opportunity for all students is met. After one year (or when a student graduates, if sooner), grades are considered final. All requests for a change of grade after one year require documentation describing why the work was not complete in a timely manner and why the Universal Grade Change Form was not filed during the appropriate period.
