Letters used to indicate the quality of academic work completed in a given course: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F, I, S, U, P, N, W.
Professors give letter grades to show the quality of a student's work. The grade tells how well the student is performing on tests, research papers, and class participation. Most colleges or universities require that students maintain a minimum grade point average to continue their studies. Here are the grades and the grade point averages: A+ (4.0) A (4.0) A– (3.7) (excellent) C+ (2.3) C (2.0) C– (1.7) (average) F (0) (failure) B+ (3.3) B (3.0) B– (2.7) (above average) D+ (1.3) D (1.0) D– (0.7) (poor)
Evaluative scores provided for each course, and often for individual examinations or papers written for that course. There are letter grades (usually A, B, C, D, F) and number grades (usually percentages from 0% to 100%), or on a scale of 0 to 3, 0 to 4, or 0 to 5. Some schools use a pass/fail system with no grades.
Grades are posted to the official transcript at the end of each 5, 8 and 16-week session and are available the Wednesday following the last day of the session. Students can access their grades through MineOnline at mineonline.occc.edu.
Students receive a grade for a course based on the successful completion of the course criteria, which is set by the instructor and the institution. Final grades for credit courses are entered on the student's permanent record. Letter grades of "A" through "D" are awarded for passing work, while the letter grade of "F" is awarded for unsatisfactory work. Grades may be given for selected continuing education courses. Grades are CC (certificate based on competencies), CA (certificate based on attendance), and NG (no grade/no certificate).
Carmen allows instructors to customize how grades are set up and manage their grades for their courses. With many options, including grade schemes and calculation methods. The grades tool is very flexible. Instructors can download and upload grade books to or from an Excel file. Class participants can view their grades merely by clicking on the Grades link on the navigation bar.
