GENERAL INFORMATION IN REGARD TO THE COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT Grading and Marks In all courses students are graded according to their scholar– ship by the use oi the following symbols: A, denoting excellent; B, denoting good; C, denoting fair; D, denoting passing; and F, denot– ing failed. The comparative merit of tests, examination.3 and all other exercises, as well as the final standing of the student in any course, are ind,icated by the use of the same symbols. A equals 93- 100; B equals 85-92; C equals 78-84; D equals 70-77. Required Merit Points In every curriculum in the collegiate department as many merit points are required for graduation as credits or semester-hours. For grade excellent, three points for each credit are awarded; for grade good, two points; for grade fair, one p oint; for grade passing, no points. The maximum number of points that can be secured by a stu– dent, graduating in a curriculum which required, for example, 120 credits is 360; the minimum 120.
