Cumulative grade point averages are computed with a quality point system. The interpretation of the letter grades and their quality point values is as follows:
| Grade | Percentage Range | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|
|
A |
90-100% |
4.0 |
| B | 80-89.9% | 3.0 |
| C |
70-79.9% |
2.0 |
| D | 60-69.9% | 1.0 |
| F |
<60% |
0 |
| RC |
Successful Remediation with Grade of “C” |
2.0 |
| RF |
Failed Remediation with Grade Below “C” |
1.0 |
| P |
Passed |
Not included in GPA |
| NP |
Not Passed |
Not included in GPA |
| IC | Incomplete | 0 |
| IP |
In Progress |
0 |
| W | Withdrawal | 0 |
| WF |
Withdrawal Fail |
0 |
| WP |
Withdrawal Pass |
0 |
Incomplete Grade
The grade of IC (incomplete) may be assigned to a student who otherwise is passing the course but is unable to complete all of the required coursework and/or examinations due to extenuating circumstances (such as illness, death in the family, injury due to accident, etc.). Generally, the IC should be removed no later than ten (10) days after it was assigned, unless otherwise specified by prior agreement with the course director and the Dean to extend the deadline. If the IC is not removed within the stated period of time, it will automatically change to a grade of F. In cases of illness or extreme circumstance, the IC may be changed to a grade of W, in accordance with the CHSU Student Attendance and Leaves of Absence Policy. A student with an IC on their transcript at the beginning of the fourth year APPEs will not be allowed to begin their fourth-year rotations until the IC has been removed from the transcript.
In Progress Grade
The grade of IP (in progress) may be assigned by the course directors to students whose work at the end of a term is still in progress because the course requires more than one term to complete. Completion of course requirements for IP grades must occur within one year. A grade of IP automatically changes to F or NP (depending on the selected grading method) after one year if no other grade is assigned. IP grades count as credits attempted and as credits earned upon completion of the course.
