2011-2012 Graduate Addendums

The printed and online versions of the 2011-2012 Chapman University Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs were published prior to the approval of curriculum changes made after June 2011.

Students dropping a course in the prescribed manner after the add-drop period and on or before the final day to withdraw from a course (as stated in the academic calendar section) will receive a "W" notation.

The "FW" grade is assigned to students who cease attending part way through the semester but who do not officially withdraw via WebAdvisor or the Office of the University Registrar. "FW" is computed in the grade-point average as an "F." Students who take a course Pass/No Pass, cease attending part way through the semester, and fail to officially withdraw will receive the "NP" grade.

Note: By action of the Academic Council, all graduate work must be taken for a letter grade. Any exceptions to this policy will be noted in the course description of the specific course.

Grade Points

From September 1958 to September 1981, grade points were awarded as follows: A= 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0. Pluses and minuses were disregarded. Beginning September 1981, grade points are awarded as follows: A=4, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, C-=1.7*

*Grades of this level and below are considered unacceptable work for graduate students.
