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 hours | 1.5 GPA |
21-29 hours | 1.6 GPA |
30-38 hours | 1.7 GPA |
39-47 hours | 1.8 GPA |
48-55 hours | 1.9 GPA |
56+ hours | 2.0 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.
Grade | Performance | Grade Point Value |
A | Superior | 4 |
B | Good | 3 |
C | Average | 2 |
D | Poor | 1 |
F | Failure | 0 |
W | Withdrawal | Is not used in averaging grades; does not carry credit |
U | Audit | Is not used in averaging grades; does not carry credit |
I | Incomplete | Is not used in averaging grades; does not carry credit |
P | Pass | Is not used in averaging grades but does carry credit |
Only grades for courses at the 040 level or above are used to compute grade point average.
