Methodology

Grading Policies Lack of consistency in Grading Policies resulted in a number of Grade Mark Range features to rationalize into a CSAP Grading Policy A 80-100% B 70-79% Alpha and numeric systems  Varying passing grades  C 60-69% Wide variety of ways of reporting  course withdrawals D 50-59% CSAP deems A, B, C, and “pass” as F <50% “Good Grades”, D, F, and W are “at risk”
