Unrecorded – Audit Only (the course will not be entered on your academic record)Ĭourse dropped by student after fourth week of semester or first quarter of shorter sessionĪdministrative Drop (enrollment in course violates permitted number of repeats)Ī complete list of Honors offered by Undergraduate degree programs appears with the information about each degree in our Academic Catalog. Unsatisfactory (zero-credit courses only except for English 090/095, Linguistics 096 and Math 090/095, which are assigned letter grades though they carry no degree or GPA credit) Satisfactory (audit and zero-credit courses only) Progress (research and thesis course work still in progress) Grade was not submitted in time to be reported Grade Point ChartĬ- or higher in a “Credit/No Credit” course (will not be calculated into GPA)ĭ+ or lower in a “Credit/No Credit” course (will not be calculated into GPA) For convenience in computing averages, each letter grade carries a specified number of points per credit. UWM uses a letter grade system that includes “plus” and “minus” grades and is based on a 4.000 scale. If a student wants to receive a letter grade for a course, they should not specify audit or credit/no credit as a grading basis when registering on PAWS. UWM credits taken as audit or credit/no credit do not apply to your UWM GPA. Some schools and colleges have different standards for GPA calculation and may include transfer work see degree requirements in the Academic Catalog for specifics. The grade point average recorded on the official UWM transcript is based solely upon credits earned or attempted at UWM.
The Registrar’s Office has a GPA Calculator Tool you can use to calculate a future GPA based on estimated grades. The highest possible average is 4.000 or an A in every subject. GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of graded points taken. For example, if a student earned a B in a three-credit course, they would earn nine grade points. The number of grade points earned in a course is computed by multiplying the points for the grade by the number of credits for which the course is offered. The general quality of a student’s performance in their classes is expressed in terms of the grade point average (GPA). Room for subjective grade adjustments, which are almost always unfair.Students pursuing a degree from UWM will take most of their coursework on a graded basis. I find it helps keeps the process more objective, and does not allow The two situations, I prefer to keep it straightforward byĪnnouncing the sharp grade boundary from day one and then following it strictly. Policy is followed, some could miss a grade boundary by a hair.Įven though there may be some psychological difference between (It would also mean that me announcing the grade boundary of 90.00 And that would mean thatĪ grade of 89.4 would miss a grade boundary by -0.1. Grade boundary by -0.1,-or even by -0.01-I know! This is exacerbated by me mostly grading with A's and B's, with C's and D's rare, so that many grades hover around the 90.00 boundary.īut to round up, say, every numerical grade ≥89.50 to 90.00Īnd map that to an A-, means that the transition from B+ to A- is actually 89.50, not 90.00. This means that if your numerical grade is 89.9, I map it to a B+ and not an A. This can be a sore point, so let me explain.įor example, I use ≥90.00 as the transition from a B+ to an A. It is my practice not to round the numerical gradeīefore mapping to letter grades by the table.
