Grades for graduate studies are reported using one of the following three systems:
* “A” excellent; “A-”; “B+”; “B” good; “B-”; “C” poor; “E” failure
* “S” satisfactory; “E” failure. Courses to be graded on the “S/E” basis only are those titled “Dissertation” or “Dissertation Research,” or the various “continuous registration” courses.
* “P” pass or “F” fail. Use of pass/fail needs pre-approval from the graduate research or graduate professional committee.
Minimum passing grades for a graduate course (or research carrying credit) are “C” or “S” except that “C” is considered a failure for a student already on probation.
