Grading System

The course marks used in the Divinity School are A, B, C, D, P, F, and I. The marks A, B, C, D, with or without + or - modifiers, and the mark P are passing marks for courses in which students have registered for course credit.

The mark F indicates unsatisfactory work and carries no course credit.

The mark P may be used only for general course examinations following a quarter of instruction or for seminar and research courses numbered 30000 and above.

The mark I indicates that the student registered for course credit but has not submitted all the evidence required for a qualitative grade, and has made satisfactory arrangements with the instructor to complete the work. The mark I is given only under special circumstances, and the final determination to do so rests with the instructor. The policy in the Divinity School is that grades of I may be replaced with a letter grade up to one year following the completion of the course. After one year, the I becomes permanent, and any grade submitted will be placed next to the I.

Masters levels students (M.A. orM.Div.) with more than three Incompletes on their transcript at the beginning of a quarter may not register for that quarter.

Course Credits

A student who is registered for a course and successfully completes the requirements as prescribed by the instructor receives credit for the course on the records of the University. The student's record, indicating the units of instruction successfully completed together with the marks received in the various courses, may be used for transferring course credits to another university.
