*The letter grade equivalent of a P grade is a C- or higher for undergraduate courses and a B or higher for graduate courses.<\/em><\/p>\n

**The letter grade equivalent of an LP grade is a D-, D, or D+ for undergraduate courses. It is not used for graduate courses.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Final grade appeal<\/h2>\n

A student who believes that a final course grade is incorrect or has been inappropriately influenced by nonacademic factors has the right to appeal that course grade. The Student Guide<\/a><\/strong> includes full details of the final grade appeal procedure<\/a><\/strong>, including the Final Grade Appeal Form<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Grade Point Average<\/h2>\n

Grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other institutions.<\/p>\n

The formula for calculating GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned.<\/p>\n

The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Changing Grade Option<\/h2>\n

With most undergraduate courses, students have the option to choose between traditional letter grading and P\/LP\/N grading. This option is not available at the graduate level. Students considering a grade option switch are advised that no more than 24 credits of P\/LP\/N graded classes may be applied to degree requirements. Additionally, individual majors and minors limit the number of P or LP graded credits that can be applied to the program. Some majors prohibit the use of P\/LP\/N grading for classes within the major. See the Augsburg undergraduate catalog<\/strong><\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

Changing the grade option for a class can be done in the My Classes screen of Augnet Records and Registration by the deadline published in the academic calendar<\/strong><\/a>. If the grade option is available to be changed, students will see a button in the My Classes screen allowing them to update their selection. Questions about grade option changes can be directed to the Registrar’s Office<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
