Point System for Grades
Although your final grade for a class will be a letter grade, many instructors use a numerical point system to figure out the letter grade equivalencies. Below is a typical point system. Be sure that you understand the number system your instructors use. If this point system is not spelled out in the course syllabus, ask your instructor.
