Graduate Level Grading System
The Graduate Council has approved the following

grade quality points. Some programs may not use
the entire range of grades. Students should refer

for grading policies specific to
their area of study.

A- ; B+, B Suitably proficient performance
B-; C+, C Marginal performance
C-; D Unsatisfactory performance

where the student is registered

NP Not passing work completed in a
course where the student is registered
Pass/No Pass
Note: With regard to “P” and “NP” grades, a
“P” grade would indicate work equivalent to an
A, B, or C. An “NP” grade would indicate work
equivalent to a D or F. If further clarification of a
“P” or “NP” grade is required, such as when a
student transfers coursework to another program
or institution, the student should consult with the
director of the program in which she or he
earned the Pass/No Pass grade.
