CR/D/F Grading

When professors grade CR/D/F exams and/or papers, they do not assign or provide a numeric or letter grade equivalent for those that earn a CR grade. Thus, if you should earn a CR grade, you will not know and we will not know the numeric or letter grade equivalent.

A CR grade is not calculated into your GPA.

D and F grades are calculated in to your GPA.

If the CR/D/F option is chosen for a class, one of these grades awarded will be: Numeric grade equivalent Units earned or not earned
