When an instructor uses the “1000 Point Grading System”, students can always figure out where they stand on the grading scale at any point throughout the semester by simply adding up the points they’ve earned. Sample Grade Scale with Points Letter Grade Point Ranges Grade Point Value A+ 990 - 1000 4.000 A 910 - 989 4.000
Note: Grades (except S, P, and AU) having 0 grade points may be treated by other educational institutions as an 'F'.
The final grade will depend on the quality of the completed work and its significance to the course. After the deadline, the grade that has been preset by the instructor will be posted on the transcript if the work is not completed.
Walden uses the following grading scale: Letter Grade. Point Value. Definition. Criteria. A. 4.0. Superior. Student met all participation requirements; completed all assignments, group projects, and papers; met the evaluation criteria for the course as specified in the syllabus; and submitted superior quality work.
The cumulative grade point average is the total number of grade points earned divided by the total number of credit hours attempted. Attempted credit hours include the number of credit hours of "F" even though no grade points are earned for this grade. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.
The final grade will depend on the quality of the completed work and its significance to the course. After the deadline, the grade that has been preset by the instructor will be posted on the transcript if the work is not completed. The 'I' grade could become a letter grade such as B, C, D, S (and credit granted), or U, F, or IX (permanent 'I'). In the case of U, F, or IX, the student does not receive credit and should enroll in the course again to receive credit. Neither the 'I' or the 'IX' grade will be figured into credits attempted or honor points earned.
Note: Grades (except S, P, and AU) having 0 grade points may be treated by other educational institutions as an 'F'.
The 'I' grade will remain on your transcript until the requirements of the course are met and a letter grade given or an instructor-determined deadline has passed with a maximum of 1 year. The final grade will depend on the quality of the completed work and its significance to the course.
Repeating a course : Whenever a course is repeated on a credit basis, the best grade and credits earned are used in computing the grade-point average. All entries remain a part of the permanent academic record.
The 'P' grade equates to 'C' or better work and will not be included in your GPA. No more than 25% of credits applied toward an associate degree or certificate can have a 'P' grade. Note: Grades (except S, P, and AU) having 0 grade points may be treated by other educational institutions as an 'F'.
Pass/No Pass grades are given only in specifically-designated courses numbered 100 and above. The Pass/No Pass grades must be part of the approved course syllabus and will apply to all students in all sections of the course. Students and faculty cannot elect this grading option for other courses.
Student is in the process of completing a course.
Incompletes can be awarded where, due to extenuating circumstances, a student has not been able to complete all course requirements within the term, including but not limited to written assignments, group projects, and research papers, as applicable.
APUS Grading System (Chart) Your cumulative GPA at APUS is determined solely by the courses you have taken at APUS towards your current degree. If you change your major, your previous APUS courses will roll over into your GPA for your new major.
WP/WF grade designators are no longer used as of October 5, 2007.
Master's End of Program Requirements: For all capstone courses that begin after January 1, 2017, master's students must earn a B- (80%) or better on their capstone thesis/project/paper and a B- (80%) or better in their capstone course to pass the course. This policy aligns with the comprehensive exam, which also requires a B- (80%) or better to pass. Master's students must have at least a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate. Please see the End of Program Assessment Manual for more information.
However, if you graduate from a program, you would start over with a fresh GPA when you start on your next program. For example, your grades towards your conferred Associate degree at APUS do not impact your subsequent GPA in your Bachelor program.
Course No Longer Counted in APUS GPA as it was Retaken. However, the previous grade would still be counted by a third parties, such as the federal government for Financial Aid eligibility and by the military for calculating a GPA for TA eligibility.
