The grading system at Carlingford involves letter grades which are assigned a quality point value per semester hour of credit as follows:

• A:   4.000
• A-:  3.667
• B+: 3.333
• B:    3.000
• B-:   2.667
• C+:  2.333
• C:    2.000
• C-:   1.667
• D+:  1.333
• D:    1.000
• F:     0.000
• I:      incomplete
• W:   withdrew from course
• PP:   passing in a pass/fail course
• FF:   failing in a pass/fail course
• PR:   in progress (thesis course only)

     All A, B, C, and D grades are passing grades. A grade of W is not included in computing grade averages. Grades of I and PR are not included in the grade average. If the student is unable to finish the thesis during the second semester, the thesis advisor upon evaluation of the work the student has completed to date can change the first semester “PR” grade to “PP” or “FF”. Courses in which F and FF grades are received must be repeated at Carlingford to receive credit.

     I, PR, W, FF and PP grades carry no grade point average. Hours earned with PP grade will count toward the student's total hours for graduation.
