Grades and Grading System on My Citadel Portal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Final and midterm grades are not mailed to students. End-of-the-semester grade reports and midterm progress reports are made available electronically through the My Citadel Portal <\/a><\/strong>The Office of the Registrar card and BANNER Self-Service. For information about releasing grade information to parents or other recipients, please consult our FERPA<\/a> information web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate Grading System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only letter grades are given to evaluate a student\u2019s progress. No numerical symbol or percentage is fixed or assigned to the equivalent of any grade. For purposes of ascertaining a grade-point average, grades are defined and weighted as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade<\/strong><\/td>Evaluation<\/strong><\/td>Quality Pts Per Semester Hour<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
A<\/td>Superior<\/td>4<\/td><\/tr>
B+<\/td>Very Good<\/td>3.5<\/td><\/tr>
B<\/td>Good<\/td>3<\/td><\/tr>
C+<\/td>Above Average<\/td>2.5<\/td><\/tr>
C<\/td>Unsatisfactory<\/td>2<\/td><\/tr>
F<\/td>Failure<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr>
I<\/td>Incomplete<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr>
P<\/td>Passing<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr>
IP<\/td>In Progress<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr>
W<\/td>Withdrawal<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • A<\/strong> –  A grade of \u201cA\u201d represents work of a high quality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • B+<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cB+\u201d represents above average quality work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • B<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cB\u201d indicates average graduate work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • C+<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cC+\u201d indicates below average graduate work and is an unsatisfactory grade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • C<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cC\u201d is unsatisfactory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • P<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cP\u201d indicates work of acceptable, graduate-level quality. While it signifies work of \u201cA\u201d or \u201cB\u201d level, it carries no quality points and is awarded only for designated courses such as workshops, internships, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • F<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cF\u201d indicates that the minimum requirements have not been met. No quality points are awarded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cI\u201d represents work of satisfactory quality incomplete for authorized reasons. Incomplete \u201cI\u201d grades must be made up during the term following the recording of the grade. A grade of \u201cI\u201d received in the fall term must be made up by the end of the following spring term. A grade of \u201cI\u201d received in either the spring or summer term must be made up by the end of the following fall term. An extension of time not to exceed one additional term may be authorized for extenuating circumstances by the appropriate dean. Grades not made up within the authorized time limit will convert to a grade of \u201cF,\u201d and such courses will be included in calculating the GPR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • W<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cW\u201d represents withdrawal from a course prior to the scheduled withdrawal deadline. No quality points are associated with the \u201cW\u201d, and there is no academic penalty for the student.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • IP<\/strong> – A grade of \u201cIP\u201d assigned for courses in which requirements are not expected to be met in one academic term. The grade of \u201cIP\u201d must be removed after two full semesters, or the \u201cIP\u201d becomes an \u201cF.\u201d The summer session will not be considered a semester in this case. Under extenuating circumstances, an extension may be awarded by the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs with the recommendation of the instructor. The removal of the \u201cIP\u201d is the responsibility of the student. Students may not enroll in a course in which they currently have an \u201cIP\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grades of A*, B+*, C*, C+*, C* and F* are awarded for professional development coursework only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Cumulative Grade-Point Ratio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to completing all specific program requirements, in order to remain in good academic standing, The Citadel Graduate College requires students to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Failure to maintain this GPA results in dismissal from that program. Should a student be enrolled in multiple programs or certificates, a cumulative GPA is not sufficiently accurate in determining a student\u2019s academic standing. In such cases, the standard used to determine their eligibility is the student\u2019s GPA in that particular program, not their cumulative GPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
