Grading Methods

From the Graduate Catalog:

Grading Systems: The conventional A through F grading system is used in graduate level courses. A "satisfactory or failure" (S-F) grading system may be used for certain types of graduate study at the discretion of the graduate program. These include courses that require independent fieldwork, special projects, or independent study. Graduate program seminars, workshops, and graduate program courses in instructional methods may also be appropriate for the S-F grading system. The "pass-fail" grading system is not available for graduate students. However, a graduate program may allow, in certain cases, a graduate student to use the pass-fail option for 100-300 level courses. Graduate credit may not be earned for these courses. Either the A-F or the S-F grading system may be used for Master's Thesis (799), and Pre-candidacy (898) and Doctoral Dissertation (899) Research, as well as for courses labeled "Independent Study" or "Special Problems." Only one grading system may be used per course in a particular semester except for thesis and dissertation credits. The grading system will be designated by the student's graduate program or the graduate program offering the course.
