SAIC measures and sets standards for individual student academic progress utilizing an academic standing process that does not rely upon GPA and does not assign letter grades. This system best facilitates the education our institution aims to provide—an education that fosters creativity, risk-taking in the context of creative making and scholarship, and an emphasis on iterative evaluation of growth and progress. 

Non-degree students must achieve average performance in the course (the traditional grade equivalent of a C) to earn CR (credit).

• Submitting Grades: Enter pass/fail grades for each student into PeopleSoft Self-Service. Review the Online Grading How-To Guide for more information. We need these grades to track certificate program completions.
