Graduate School of Business Grades
Effective September 2000, all courses offered by the Graduate School of Business are graded according to the following five-level scheme:
H |
Honors. Work that is of truly superior quality. |
HP |
High Pass. A passing performance, and one that falls approximately in the upper quarter of passing grades. |
P |
Pass. A passing performance that falls in the center of the distribution of all passing grades. |
LP |
Low Pass. A passing performance that falls approximately in the lower quarter of passing grades. |
U |
Unsatisfactory. A failing performance. Work that does not satisfy the basic requirements of the course and is deficient in significant ways. |
GNR |
The notation 'GNR' appears when no grade has been reported to the Registrar. The 'GNR' notation remains on the transcript until a grade has been reported (effective Autumn Quarter 2009-10). |
Students in some GSB courses may elect to take the course on a pass/fail basis, where any passing grade (H, HP, P, or LP) is converted to Pass, and U is converted to Fail. Students wishing to take a GSB course on a pass/fail basis should consult the GSB Registrar for rules and procedures. Prior to 2009-10, an asterisk (*) notation was placed when no grade was reported.
