Grades and grading
A student receives a grade for each registered course. Grades are indicated by letters and assigned quality points as shown below. Credit toward a degree program will be granted only for courses in which a grade of "C" or better is earned.

B - Good 3.00

Average 2.00
D - Below Average 1.00
(Course must be repeated. Course will not count towards degree program.)
F - Failure 0.00
I - Incomplete -work must be finished the next semester; otherwise, the grade automatically becomes an F unless an extension of time is requested in writing to the Office of Graduate Studies by the instructor.
AU Audit - no academic credit awarded, and no transcript notation.
W Withdrawal - not used in calculation of GPA.
P Pass - carries credit but no grade points. Not used in computing GPA.*
U Unsatisfactory - appears on transcript, no grade points. Not used in GPA.*
*Only used with courses specified as Pass/Unsatisfactory in course description.
The student’s grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total letter-graded graduate hours attempted (not the number of graduate hours passed) at UTB/TSC.
