Letter Grades
Grades reflect the quality and quantity of a student's work submitted throughout the term according to the grading standards listed below. Undergraduate- and graduate-credit students may earn the following grades:

- B+, B, and B- grades represent work of good to very good quality throughout the term; however, it does not merit special distinction.
- C+, C, and C- grades designate an average command of the course material.
- D+, D, and D- grades indicate work that shows a deficiency in knowledge of the material.
