Courses in which students are assessed and awarded a final grade may use a letter, percentage or honours/pass/fail grading scheme. During the first class your instructor will provide you with a course outline detailing the grade scheme and grade weighting.
Generally, a passing grade of 50%, or D, or Pass is necessary to obtain a credit towards any certificate offered by the School of Continuing Studies. However, some programs do require a higher pass threshold. Check the official course outline provided by your instructor at course commencement for this information.
The following grade scales are used by the School of Continuing Studies:
| Letter Grade | Percentages | Grade Definitions |
|---|---|---|
| A | 80% – 100% | Excellent |
| B | 70% – 79% | Good |
| C | 60% – 69% | Adequate |
| D | 50% – 59% | Marginal |
| F | 49% or lower (49% or course maximum fail threshold, whichever is higher) | Inadequate |
| P | 50% – 89% (50% or course minimum pass threshold, whichever is higher) | Pass |
| H | 90% or higher | Honours |
