Faculty have the responsibility of evaluating a student's performance and assigning a grade for the course. Grades are selected from the list below and can be given with plus and minus grades. Faculty submit final grades electronically. The Registrar is responsible for running final grade processes that compute both a semester and cumulative grade point average (GPA); and records the information on the student's official transcript.
