Grading
Hocking College uses a standard letter grade system and assigns quality points to each letter grade ‘ A’ through ‘ D’. These letter grades are the only grades assigned quality points. Quality points earned are determined by multiplying the number of credit hours in the course times the quality points for the grade earned. The grade point average (GPA) is the sum of the quality points divided by the sum of all credit hours where letter grades are earned. The grade report contains both a cumulative (total to date) grade point average (CPA) and a quarterly grade point average (QPA). The letter grade symbols and their quality points used in the calculation of the GPA are as follows:

A 4.0 C 2.0
A- 3.7 C- 1.7
B+ 3.3 D+ 1.3
B 3.0 D 1.0
B- 2.7 D- 0.7
C+ 2.3 F 0.0 (course failure)

The following grade symbols are not included in the calculation of the GPA:
NR Not reported by instructor

If students are unable to complete a course in the normal allotted time, they may be eligible to receive an incomplete (I) or progress (PR) (PACE) grade. Eligibility is determined by the course instructor and PACE procedures. After completing the course, a grade change form, submitted by the instructor, is required.
