Grade
Grade Points per Credit
A-High degree of excellence in achievement 4 B-Better than average achievement 3 C-Average/acceptable achievement 2 D-Minimum standard of achievement 1 S-Satisfactory 0 F-Failure 0 I-Incomplete 0 W-Withdrawal 0 X-Audit 0 *Or Blank---See below 0 R-Repeated course
(Prior grade is valid “R” and is not computed in grade point average. See below.)0 #-With grade-repeated course
(Prior grade has been converted to “R.” Current term and cumulated grade point averages have been updated to reflect prior “R.” See below.)1. Contact your instructor if you believe the grade assigned for a particular course is not correct.
2. If the grade is a “*” or blank and the course was completed by the last day of the term, contact the Records office at (630) 942-2440/2445. If the course did not end by the last day of the term, the “*” or blank is temporary and will be changed to a grade when the instructor submits the grades to the Records office.
3. If the grade is “I” (incomplete), an updated grade report for the term will be mailed to you when the final grade is submitted by the instructor to the Records office. Refer to the College of DuPage Catalog, Academic Information, Academic Policy, for restrictions and time limitations for completion of “I” grades.
4. The “S” (satisfactory) grade earns credit but is not computed in the grade point average. The “S” grade may not be changed to a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) nor may a letter grade be changed to “S.” Contact the Graduation department at ext. 2261 for restrictions in the applicability of “S” grades toward degree requirements.
5. The “X” (audit) grade does not earn credit and is not computed in the grade point average.
6. If the grade is “R,” it indicates that in a prior term you were assigned a grade for the same course that was either the same or was a higher grade than the grade assigned this term. The grade in the prior term is maintained and continues to be computed in the grade point average (unless it is an “S” grade). The “R” grade earns no credit and is not computed in the grade point average, since credit may be awarded only once.
7. If the grade is followed by “#,” it indicates that in a prior term you were assigned a grade for the same course that is either the same or lower than the grade assigned this term. The prior grade has been converted to “R” and the term and cumulative grade point average have been updated to reflect the “R,” which earns no credit and is not computed in the grade point average.
8. Courses which are identified as Repeatable will have the grade and credit recorded until the allowable maximum credit is earned. Subsequent grades in the same course will be converted to “R” (example: an Applied Music course that may be repeated up to six times will have the grade converted to “R” when it is completed the seventh time).
9. Please note the following: Repeats of courses taken before the 1983 fall quarter may not be reflected. If you believe the Repeat has not been identified, contact the Records office at (630) 942-2440/2445.
10. Beginning with the 1985 fall quarter, courses numbered below 100 (example: Math 080) earn credit but are not computed in the grade point average. Please note that credit earned in any course numbered below 100 is not applicable to any degree or certificate at College of DuPage.
