Most courses use the traditional grading system, providing grades of A through F. However, grading may take other forms, including:

 P/F Pass/Fail – Passing work is a letter grade of ’C’ and above. The FCOP P/F standard differs from the University’s standard for passing (i.e., letter grade of ‘D’ or higher).
 CR Credit with semester credit hours awarded (See Credit/No Credit option policy)
 NC No-credit with no semester credit hours awarded (See Credit/No Credit option policy)
 I Indicates incomplete coursework (See incomplete policy)
 W Indicates withdrawal (See withdrawal policies)
 * A course subsequently repeated (see Repeating Courses and Grade Forgiveness Policies)
 AU Audit

Course components, weighing of assignments used to calculate course grades are outlined in each course syllabus.
