FAQ’s – Grades

Where do I find out my grades?

View your official grades for each semester in your Laker Hub > Student IRIS > Student Records > Grades. While many instructors utilize Canvas to post grades throughout a semester, please note the grades posted in Canvas may not be current and are not considered official college grades.

How do I know what my academic standing is?

Minimum acceptable standards of cumulative grade point average (GPA) to remain in good academic standing are as follows:

12-20 hours1.5 GPA
21-29 hours1.6 GPA
30-38 hours1.7 GPA
39-47 hours1.8 GPA
48-55 hours1.9 GPA
56+ hours2.0 GPA

Failure to remain in good academic standing may impact your enrollment in courses and your ability to receive scholarships and financial aid.

What do I need to do if I need to take an incomplete grade?

If you are unable to complete the requirements for a course during the scheduled time period due to illness or other extreme circumstance, you may request the instructor to assign a grade of “I” (Incomplete) and be allowed to complete the course during the next scheduled term (excluding summer). Check out the Request an Incomplete page to learn more.

How do I understand my GPA?

GPA is calculated by: (grade point value) X (course credit hours) = total grade points for the course. Add up grade points for all of your courses and divide by your total number of credit hours to arrive at your GPA.
