Grading and Unit Requirements
Other Pages In College of Creative Studies
The grading system in the college
is focused on accomplishment. It is a combination of pass/no record and
variable unit credit. A pass in a college course is given only for work
completed at above-average (3.0 or higher) level. For each course in the
college, the student may receive any number of units from 0 to 6. Zero
(0) is No Record—the course is not recorded on the student’s transcript;
any number of units from 1 to 6 is Pass. In each course the student
enrolls for the specific number of units of work (up to a maximum of
six) planned for that course, but at the end of the quarter the
instructor makes the final determination of the unit value of the
student’s work.
Courses taken outside the College of Creative
Studies will be graded according to the grading system of the college in
which the courses were taken. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade-point
average in courses taken for letter grades outside the College of
Creative Studies.
Each unit of credit earned is counted toward
graduation; 180 quarter-units of credit qualify the student to be
evaluated for graduation with a bachelor of arts degree or a bachelor of
science degree in the College of Creative Studies.
