Grading Systems and Standards
The official grading system of the Graduate School of
Business and the grade point values are:
No points are assigned for the following grade symbols:
I (incomplete), NC (no credit), NR (no report filed
by the instructor), S/F (satisfactory/failure), or W (withdrawn).
Based on the above values, a candidate must compile a
minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in
all Graduate School of Business course work to remain
in good standing and to complete graduation requirements.
Courses not approved as a part of the student's Online
MBA curriculum will not be included in calculation of
the Online MBA GPA (Grade Point Average).
The following policies apply:
- Only courses with grades of "C-" or better will count
toward the necessary hours for graduation, although
ALL grades (except ineligible course work and transfer
credit) are used in computing the GPA.
- If a "D+"/ "D"/"D-" is earned, the hours will NOT
count toward graduation, but the grade will be used
in calculating the GPA. The course cannot be repeated;
additional course work to replace the hours and review
work will be recommended by the Chairperson.
- If an "F" is received in a course, the hours will
NOT count toward graduation and the grade will
be used to calculate the GPA. If the course is an elective,
it may not be repeated. Required courses must be repeated,
however. (Sequencing rules will apply.)
Pass/Fail Option
Online MBA students may not enroll in graduate course
work for credit toward the MBA degree under the
pass/fail option.

The Incomplete
An "incomplete" indicates that the work is passing as
of the end of the semester but a relatively small
part of the course has not been completed. In order to
give a grade of "I", the faculty member must agree with
a request for an incomplete. The faculty member
must file an “Incomplete Form” which states the reason
for the incomplete, the requirements for completion,
and when the course is expected to be completed. An incomplete
not removed within one year of assignment automatically
converts to an "F."
- If the work required to remove the "incomplete" is
not finished before the beginning of the subsequent
quarters enrollment in subsequent courses may
not be approved. (See sequencing rules). For example,
if an "I" is assigned in one of the courses in
the Fall Quarter of year one, the Winter Quarter may
not be allowed until requirements of the “incomplete”
are fulfilled. Approval to enroll in a subsequent module
with an “I” on the record must be obtained from the
Chairperson of the Online MBA.
- If an "incomplete" ("I") is not removed within one
year from its assignment, an "F" is automatically recorded
for the course.
- A candidate cannot re-enroll in a course in which
a grade of "I" has been received.
- A candidate cannot be certified for graduation until
his record is cleared of all "Incompletes" in both elective
and required course work.
Withdrawal "W"
There are times when the "W" is an appropriate grade.
The "W" indicates that the course has not been successfully
completed and therefore the student may not progress to
the next semester's course work.
A grade of "W" is automatically assigned if withdrawal
occurs during the first eight (8) weeks of a regular
length semester. After that time, it is necessary to petition
to withdraw. If the petition is granted, the student may
withdraw and a "W" will be assigned for the course.
