Grading & Academic

Acceptable Grades

The AAGSB grading system is based on ordinal (letter) grades (e.g., A, B, C, etc.), 'satisfactory/un-satisfactory, and audit grading options for degree candidates. Only courses for which the grades of (A), (B), (C), (V), and (S) have been received are acceptable in fulfillment of degree graduation requirements. Only grades of A), (B), (C), (F), (WF), and (V)(if transferred from universities with which AAGSB has cooperation agreements) are taken into consideration during the calculation of a students' GPA. The table below illustrates the used grades and their numerical values:
