Grades

Final grades are reported by the faculty to the Office of the Registrar no later than 72 hours after the end of final examinations. Academic standing and honors are based on semester final grades. After final grade processing by the Office of the Registrar, students can view their grades on .

Quality point values below the lowest passing grade for the student鈥檚 school (undergraduate, graduate, graduate business) are calculated as 0.000.听听Law students should refer to the for grading regulations.

The Current Grading听Scale is as follows:

Grade Quality Points Notes
A 4.000
A- 3.667
B+ 3.333
B 3.00
B- 2.667
C+ 2.333
C 2.000 Lowest passing grade for graduate students
C- 1.667 Lowest passing grade for graduate business students
D 1.000 Lowest passing grade for undergraduate students
X 0.000
I 0.000
F 0.000
F* 0.000

Grades which may be assigned but which are not included in the computation of the grade point average are as follows:

Grade Description
S
Satisfactory work, meets course requirements (courses with zero semester credit hours, as well as research courses, departmental seminars or colloquia or directed studies; workshops; field education and skill courses).
U
Unsatisfactory work, does not meet course requirements (courses with zero semester credit hours, as well as research courses, departmental seminars or colloquia or directed studies; workshops; field education and skill courses).
V
Auditor (graduate students only).
W
Discontinued with permission.听
P
Pass in a course taken on a pass/fail basis.
NR
Not reported. Final grade(s) not reported by the instructor due to extenuating circumstances.

Grade Explanations

Please see and the appropriate 听for more information.

F*/NR Grades

The 鈥淔*鈥 grade is assigned by the Office of the Registrar when no grade is assigned by the instructor for an active student. Possible reasons for the F* grade being assigned include (but are not limited to): a students failure to drop a class, student attending the incorrect section of a course, or adding a class incorrectly at registration. A student receiving an F* should contact the instructor of the class.

A grade of "NR" is normally assigned when an instructor does not report grades for an entire class. A student receiving an 鈥淣R鈥 grade should contact the instructor of the class.

X grade (Undergraduates Only)

An "X" grade is given with the approval of the student's dean in extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student when the student鈥檚 work is incomplete at the end of the term. The "X" grade remains on the student's record until 1) the "X" is changed to a letter grade by the instructor, or 2) the grade is changed to a grade of 鈥淔鈥 thirty (30) days into the next active semester, immediately following the term in which the "X" grade was assigned.

I grade (Graduates Only)

An 鈥淚鈥 grade can only be issued for graduate, graduate business, and law students and indicates incomplete work in a class. The "I" is calculated into the GPA as equivalent to a grade of "F".

Pass/Fail

Some classes are offered with a pass/fail grading option.听 During the first six class days of the semester,听a junior or senior undergraduate may file a request with their dean to take one elective course, outside the student鈥檚 major department and not required by the student鈥檚 program, with a pass/fail grading option. Such a filing is irrevocable and will result in a conversion of the final grade to an entry of P (鈥減ass鈥) or F (鈥渇ail鈥) on the student鈥檚 record. The instructor will not be informed that the student has elected the pass/fail grading option. The registrar will interpret the final grades of 鈥淎鈥 through 鈥淒鈥 as 鈥減ass.鈥 If a final grade of 鈥淔鈥 is issued, it will be computed into the student鈥檚 grade point average.

A class graded as pass/fail is not counted in the 鈥渉ours attempted鈥 calculation, but is counted in the hours completed total if the student receives a satisfactory grade.听 Pass/fail courses do not count toward the number of graded credits for a semester, which may affect a student鈥檚 ability to attain Dean鈥檚 List honors, as twelve graded credit hours are required to be considered eligible for Dean鈥檚 List honors.

S/U Grades

An 鈥淪鈥 or 鈥淯鈥 grade is typically issued in a zero or one credit hour course (labs, research classes, departmental seminars or colloquia, directed studies, workshops, field education, skill courses, etc.).听 An 鈥淪鈥 grade is given to those students who meet the requirements of the course as set by the department or the instructor.听 A 鈥淯鈥 is issued for failure to meet the course requirements.

W grades

A grade of "W" is assigned when a student drops a class after the drop/add deadline or completely withdraws from the University. Classes graded with 鈥淲鈥 are not totaled in the GPA hours attempted or GPA hours earned.

Transfer Work

Only Notre Dame course grades, including those听earned through a University-sponsored study away program, and for which a student听maintains enrollment at the University, and those given in the co-exchange program with听Saint Mary鈥檚 College, are included in the calculation of Grade Point Averages.

Pass/No Credit Grade Policy for Spring 2020

The University provided students a Pass/No Credit (鈥淧/NC鈥) grading option for Spring 2020. Students were permitted to view their standard letter course grades of A through F and then had an opportunity to request those grades be switched to P/NC grades, with the exception of courses that concluded prior to March 13, 2020. Any elections to switch standard letter course grades to P/NC grades became final.

The University will not publish, nor will it disclose to a person or entity, the actual letter grades of A through F that underlie and were superseded by the P/NC grade received by students in undergraduate, graduate, or professional coursework during Spring Semester 2020.听
