Course Grades
The Program uses the following grading scale to determine letter grades for each course:
-
A = 89.50 – 100%
-
B = 79.50 – 89.49%
-
C = 69.50 – 79.49%
-
F = 69.49 and below
In Progress (IP) Grades
- In-progress grades are only offered for scholarly project courses (DMS 800, 889, and 900). Once an in-progress grade is submitted for a course, students have one (1) calendar year to complete the course, otherwise, the grade will be converted to an F. No other courses in the program are eligible for IP grades.
Incomplete (I) Grades
- If the request for an incomplete grade is approved, the work must be completed within the first six weeks of the following semester; otherwise, the grade is converted to the student's current grade in the course.
