Grading Symbols

The instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be awarded each student. The instructor is required in each case to assign a definite grade based upon the work actually accomplished, regardless of the circumstances which have contributed to the results achieved. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence. When a grade is corrected, the incorrect grade will be expunged from the student’s record and replaced with the correct grade.

Grades are earned in each course on a semester basis and are recorded on the student’s permanent record. A copy of this record becomes the transcript forwarded to colleges of transfer or other agencies.
