Grading

Each course offered by Mount Aloysius has measurement guidelines for the assessment of a student's competence. How well a student demonstrates his or her competence will be indicated on a student's transcript by means of a letter grade. The authorized letter grades, their descriptions and quality points are as follows:

*At the semester, an incomplete grade must be removed within six weeks following the comprehensive testing date. Otherwise, the grade is automatically converted to an "F.'' Only the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs may grant exception to this policy. (See additional information under heading Incomplete Grades.)

**In Progress grades are generally given to students who are registered for continued fieldwork or practicums. These grades must be resolved by the end of the following semester.

Grades of "P" and "W" are entered on the student's permanent record but are not computed in the grade point average. The time of withdrawal affects the grade for the course. Withdrawal from a course will incur a grade of "E" if permission has not been granted.
