Grade Points
(SCU Policy 5.5.6.2)
Grade points determine the student’s general average and are a measure of the quality of work done, as
trimester units are a measure of quantity. These points are assigned as follows:
4 grade points for each unit of grade A
3 grade points for each unit of grade B
2 grade points for each unit of grade C
1 grade point for each unit of grade D
0 grade points for each unit of grade F or I
0 grade points for each unit of grade W or WF
0 grade points for each unit of grade P
A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 is placed on academic probation. Any student
placed on academic probation will be evaluated by the Academic Review and Support Committee to determine
an appropriate action. (Please see Academic Probation Policy for additional information.)
