Academics GRADING
Students' grades are a reflection of their efforts in the areas of classroom participation, homework completion and test performance, quizzes, exams and projects. The grade represents the knowledge you acquired for the subject matter. Students should always maintain high standards and challenge themselves to acquire new skills and competencies. Students are responsible for maintaining honesty and integrity in their work. Cheating, lying, stealing, plagiarizing, or engaging in any inappropriate behavior is not tolerated.
The following symbols are used to represent grades:
| A+ = 98 - 100 | A = 93 - 97 | A- = 89 - 92 |
| B+ = 87 - 88 | B = 83 - 86 | B- = 80 - 82 |
| C+ = 77 - 79 | C = 73 - 76 | C- = 70 - 72 |
| D+ = 67 - 69 | D = 65 -66 | F = 0 - 64 |
