| Grading System | |
| A letter grade is used to indicate the quality of a student’s work in a course. Grade points are assigned for each letter grade so a grade-point average can be calculated. The system is as follows: | |
| Grade Explanation Grade Points Per Credit | |
| A Excellent 4.0 | |
| B Good 3.0 | |
| C Average 2.0 | |
| D Poor 1.0 | |
| F Failure 0.0 | |
| Au Audit | |
| S Satisfactory | |
| U Unsatisfactory | |
| I Incomplete | |
| W Withdrawal | |
| WV Waive | |
| X In Progress | |
| NR Not Reported | |
| • The grade of “Incomplete” must be removed no later than the end of the mid-term examination week in the next college term, excluding the summer sessions. If the “Incomplete” is not removed by this time, it will automatically be changed to ‘F’ by the Enrollment Services office. | |
| • The grade of "Incomplete" is given at the instructor's discretion and is dependent on missing work and attendance. | |
| • The summer session is not considered in determining the time allowed for make-up of ‘I’ grades. | |
| • It is the student’s responsibility to see that ‘I’ grades are made up. | |
| • The term “Withdrew” is to be used when a student officially drops a course. | |
| Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory | |
| Students must perform a minimum of average work (at the discretion of the instructor) in order to receive a “Satisfactory.” Anything less is considered “Unsatisfactory.” | |
| Semester Grades | |
| Grades are available to students as soon as possible after the close of a semester. Full-time students making a 3.5 GPA or higher will be listed on the President’s Honor Roll for the semester. Students making less than a 2.0 GPA may be placed on probation or suspended. Grades will be available to the student via the NDSCS Web site, CampusConnection link. | |
| Grade Transcripts | |
| Beginning September 1, 2007, NDSCS will implement a new process to request transcripts. Students will de directed to the National Student Clearinghouse, Web site, to request a transcript. Students will be charged a fee to have a transcript sent. | |
| Grade Change | |
| In the event a grade is recorded incorrectly, a change must be made by the instructor no later than the conclusion of the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was issued, excluding the summer sessions. | |
| Repeating Courses | |
| When a course in which a student has previously received a grade is repeated, both grades show on the permanent record, but only the last grade received is used in the grade-point average. | |
