Grading System
The grading system follows a numerical system from 5.0 to
1.0 in increments of 0.25. 5.0 means Fail. The passing grade
for credit is 3.0. A final grade of 4.0 is conditional. The
student must pass a removal examination for the grade to
become a 3.0.

A final grade of EXT (Extended) is given only if the student

has demonstrated satisfactory performance in at least ½ of
the course requirements. If you get an EXT, you may
submit outstanding requirements within one academic year.
