Grading Policies

Grading Policy

The Office of the Registrar records student grades and gives a final report at the conclusion of each term. Grades ranging from A+ to F are used to report the standing of a student upon the completion of each course. The numeric value of each letter grade is used to calculate the Grade Point Average.

Grading Scale

Grade Point Averages (GPA) are computed at the end of
each term and on a cumulative basis. The numerical
values of letter grades are:

Grade Point Average Calculation

The GPA is calculated by multiplying the course unit value for each course by the numerical equivalent of the grade received. The total for all courses is then divided by the total number of course units taken. Aleph University uses the same grading scale for grading assignments and activities. A letter grade (A through F) is issued for every course taken and it determines the nal measure of a student’s performance in a specic course. Credit is granted for courses in which the student earns a passing grade (A through D-).

Only those courses for which credit is earned count towards program completion requirements. The letter grades received in each course go into the computation of a Grade Point Average (GPA).

To compute the GPA, each letter grade is assigned a number of grade points according to the Grading Policyscale

To obtain the cumulative GPA:

A. Multiply grade value by the number of credits for total grade points.
B. Divide the total number of grade points by the number of credits carried. (S-U Optio grades are not calculated in the GPA.)
C. The GPA value is displayed to the hundredths place and not rounded up (i.e., 3.248 = 3.24).

Other grades may be assigned as follows:

Pass/No Pass (P/NP): This grade may be assigned to some courses such as internships or seminars. Courses designated P/N do not count when computing the student’s GPA.

Withdraw Pass (WP): It denotes a student who, at the time of withdrawal given in the course syllabus, has met the criteria for that course. When credit is awarded, the grade is not taken into account for calculating GPA.

Withdraw Fail (WF): Implies that the student failed the course as a result of academic dishonesty and poor performance.

Transfer Credit (TC): It indicates the student has transferred credits from another institution for credit toward a degree at Aleph University. Credit is awarded, but GPA does not reect changes as it is omitted from the calculation.

Incomplete (I): assigned at the discretion of the instructor when the student is unable to complete course work before the end of the term because of unusual extenuating circumstances. A student who receives a “I” grade (for Incomplete) has informed the lecturer in writing. The student must complete the required nal test or assignment within the rst 20 days of the next term to replace the incomplete with a final grade. If not, the “I” will convert to an “F”. The professor has the responsibility of removing all Incompletes.
