The Grading System

Your academic achievement is indicated by the following letter grades and points used in calculating GPAs.

A   
B   
C   
D   
F   
X   
Highest quality; 4 points per credit hour
Second quality; 3 points per credit hour
Third quality; 2 points per credit hour
Lowest quality; 1 point per credit hour
Failed; 0 points per credit hour
Failure to complete a course for which registered, without officially withdrawing; 0 points per credit hour

A GPA is obtained by dividing the number of quality points earned at Wright State by the number of GPA hours attempted.

L    Audit; given only if arranged when registering
N    No report; the instructor did not report a grade
P    Passing; given only for separately approved courses
M    Satisfactory performance; final grade assigned upon completion of the project
U    Unsatisfactory performance
I    Incomplete; given only when part of the required work is missing and arrangements have been made with the instructor to complete the work. If the work is not completed by the end of the following quarter, the I grade is automatically converted to an F and the course grade is recalculated unless the instructor submits another I grade. Work for an incomplete received spring quarter does not have to be completed until the end of the following fall quarter.
W    Withdrew; given when students withdraw or drop a course during the fourth through seventh week of classes or equivalent or for courses in which students successfully petition for withdrawal.
