Quick Answer
Your performance in each course is converted into a letter grade from A to F, each with a corresponding percentage range and "quality points". Your transcript may also show other codes (I, W, P, NP, T, D, DF, S, EX, IN, R, NC, EA), each with its own rule for how it affects — or doesn't affect — your cGPA and your SAP.

How It Works
Converting numeric scores into letter grades
Student performance in each course is converted into a letter grade, corresponding to the following ranges and quality points:
| Score (%) | Grade | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|
| 100 – 90 | A | 4 |
| 89 – 80 | B | 3 |
| 79 – 70 | C | 2 |
| 69 – 60 | D | 1 |
| 59 – 0 | F | 0 |
Other grades and their meanings
In addition to traditional letter grades (A–F), a student's transcript may show other codes:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| NC | Audit Course / No Credit |
| I | Incomplete |
| EA | Course In Progress |
| NP | No Pass |
| P | Pass |
| T | Transfer Credit |
| D | Withdrawal before the midpoint of the term |
| DF | Withdrawal after the midpoint of the term, with failure |
| S | Satisfactory |
| EX | Credit by challenge exam / test / prior experience |
| IN | Unsatisfactory |
| R | Repeat |
Important rules
- Withdrawal "D": occurs before the midpoint of the term.
- Withdrawal "DF": occurs after the midpoint of the term, with failure; affects both the qualitative and quantitative SAP calculation.
- Grade "W": indicates a penalty-free withdrawal, within the allowed period; does not affect the cGPA, but is considered in the SAP — excessive withdrawals affect the completion rate.
- Grade "I" (Incomplete): granted through a formal request, with up to 2 weeks after the end of the course to complete the pending work; if not submitted, the pending assessment automatically receives a zero.
- Grade "P": indicates the student met the minimum course objectives; it does not count toward the cGPA, but does count as completed credit.
- Grade "NP": indicates the minimum objectives were not met; it also does not count toward the cGPA.
- Grade "F": indicates failure and is included in the cGPA.
- NC, EX, and T: do not affect the cGPA, but count as attempted/completed credits for academic progress purposes.
- Grade "S": considered in the SAP analysis.
Step by Step
How to request a grade review
Grades are final and officially recorded by the Registrar's Office. Even so, you can request a review by following the Grade Change and Appeals Policy.
- Gather the justification and evidence supporting your review request.
- Open a ticket with your program's Coordination requesting the review, within the deadline set by the policy.
- Wait for the review and official response from the Registrar's Office.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the grade "I" mean?
Incomplete — granted through a formal request, giving you up to 2 weeks after the end of the course to complete the pending work.
Does the grade "P" count toward my cGPA?
No. "P" indicates you met the minimum objectives and counts as completed credit, but it is not included in the cGPA calculation.
What is the SAP and how do grades affect it?
SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) tracks your overall academic progress. Grades such as DF, W, and S are factored into that analysis — see the SAP article for more details.
Can I dispute a grade I received?
Yes, by following the Grade Change and Appeals Policy — open a ticket with your program's Coordination.
Didn't Work? Try This
| Situation | What to Do |
|---|---|
| I don't understand why my grade is "DF" instead of "D" | "D" occurs before the midpoint of the term; "DF" occurs afterward, with failure. Check the date of your withdrawal with the Coordination. |
| I received an "I" and the 2-week deadline is approaching | Submit the pending work as soon as possible; if you don't, the pending assessment automatically receives a zero. |
| I think my grade is incorrect | Open a ticket requesting a review, following the Grade Change and Appeals Policy. |
