For graduate level courses, the grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, and C are passing grades, and C-, D+, D, D-, and F are failing grades. For undergraduate level courses, the grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and D- are passing grades, and F is failing grade. The grade of S is a passing grade and the grade of U is a failing grade for ESL courses. The grade of “I” (Incomplete) is given to a student whose work has been of passing quality but who has, for compelling reasons, been unable to complete all of his or her required coursework by the end of the semester. The quality of performance in any academic course is reported by a letter grade. These grades denote the character of work and are assigned grade points as follows:
| Percentage | Letter Grade | Grade Points | CGPA | Academic Standing |
| 94.00-100.00 | A | 4.00 | 4.00 | |
| 90.00-93.99 | A- | 3.70 | ||
| 87.00-89.99 | B+ | 3.30 | ||
| 83.00-86.99 | B | 3.00 | 3.00 | Satisfactory grade for graduate level programs |
| 80.00-82.99 | B- | 2.70 | ||
| 77.00-79.99 | C+ | 2.30 | ||
| 73.00-76.99 | C | 2.00 | 2.00 | Lowest passing grade for graduate level courses, and satisfactory grade for undergraduate level programs |
| 70.00-72.99 | C- | 1.70 | ||
| 67.00-69.99 | D+ | 1.30 | ||

Grade Point Average (GPA): GPA is defined as the total grade points (PTS) divided by credit hours (HRS).
Cumulative GPA (CGPA): Is defined as the overall GPA attained so far in an ongoing education period.
The GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned in courses by the total number of credits attempted. The GPA is carried out to three digits past the decimal point (example 1.000). No rounding up or down shall be done to arrive at the GPA. When a course is repeated, only the highest grade earned is counted in the computation of the GPA and the CGPA for graduation.
Receiving Grades: Students will receive their grades by the close of business on the day grades are due to the Registrar’s Office. Students can view their grades via the student portal.
