The University of Missouri uses a letter grading system.
A = Outstanding
B = Superior
C = Adequate
D = Marginal (not awarded to graduate students)
F = Unacceptable
W = Withdrew
WF = Withdrew failing
S = Satisfactory
S* = Satisfactory with honors (medicine only)
HN = Honors – (medicine only)
LC = Letter of commendation (medicine only, beginning summer 1998)
U = Unsatisfactory
I = Incomplete
H = Hearer or auditor
IP = In progress
PR = Preregistered
NR = Not reported
CR = Credit
E = Exam
C = Computer and information proficient
H = General honors
M = A course including a substantial amount of mathematics reasoning
R = Repeated course, grade not figured in CUM GPA (effective fall 2000)
S = Service learning
W = A course requiring 5,000 words of writing and revisions
* = An official change has been made to this record
Grade point average
is calculated on a four-point system.
A = 4.00
B = 3.00
C = 2.00
D = 1.00
F = 0.00
WF = 0.00
The University of Missouri uses a plus/minus grading system. A plus (+) or minus (-) sign after a letter grade indicates an increase or decrease in point value.
A = Superior
B = Above Average
C = Average
D = Below average
F = Failure
Del. or (6) or DL, = Delayed or incomplete
Exc. or (0) or EX, = Excused from course
H = Hearer or Auditor
S = Satisfactory (A, B or C grade)
U = Unsatisfactory (D or F grade)
A = Superior
B = Above Average
C = Average
D = Below average
F = Failure
Del. or (6) or DL, = Delayed or incomplete
Exc. or (0) or EX, = Excused from course
H = Hearer or Auditor
E = Excellent
S = Superior
M = Medium
I = Inferior
F = Failure
Del. or (6)
Exc. or (0)
A
B
C
D = No graduate credit (D grades discontinued March 1966)
F = Failure
Del. or (6) or DL = Delayed or Incomplete
Exc. or (0) or EX = Excused from course
H = Hearer or Auditor
N or NG = No graduate credit
G = Graduate credit awarded to an undergraduate student
For exclusively graduate courses:
Passed
Not passed
To receive graduate credit in any course, a student must have enrolled in graduate school or as a post-baccalaureate special. All courses taken in graduate school or as a post baccalaureate special are graduate level.
Since 1987, the University of Missouri has used only a numeric grading system. Letter grades are listed as an approximate correlation and are for reference only. There is no definitive numeric-grade-to-letter-grade translation.
A = 92–100
B = 84–91
C = 77–83
D = 70–76
F = 65–69
Approximate letter grade correlation.
A = 90–100
B = 80–89
C = 70–79
D = 60–69
F = 55–59
A = Superior
B = Above average
C = Average
D = Below average (no graduate credit)
F = Failure
H = Hearer or auditor
S = Satisfactory (A, B or C grade)
U = Unsatisfactory (D or F grade)
DEL or DL = Delayed or incomplete
Exc or EX = Excused from course
Effective fall semester 1971, term and cumulative GPA reflect only University of Missouri course work. The term and cumulative-hour totals on the transcript include only those hours used in computing the GPA and do not include credit hours earned on satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, advanced standing, credit by examination or physical education prior to August 1972.
Transcripts for students enrolling in the fall semester 1985 and after reflect the UM System cumulative grade point average for all prior course work taken at any of the campuses of the University of Missouri System. Repeated courses, marked R, are excluded from the GPA. In computing the cumulative GPA, the grade points assigned to students’ UM transfer courses are assigned as if the course had been taken on campus.
