Grade Glossary
Grades represent the instructor’s evaluation of student competencies and course performance. Grades assigned by Adelphi instructors are consistent with University standards, policies, and procedures. Each instructor will inform students of applicable grading standards for a course. At the end of each semester, grades are given in semester courses. Instructors submit grades to the University Registrar at the end of each term. Provided they have no outstanding financial obligations to the University, student transcripts are mailed to students after the close of each term.
Grading System
Adelphi has a letter grading system.

Other Transcript Designations
| AU (Audit) |
Students who are auditors register for the course, pay the regular tuition, but do not receive a grade. |
| I (Incomplete) |
The student has not completed the course requirements by the end of the semester and has obtained permission from the instructor to take additional time to complete the course work. Conditions: The designation of Incomplete (I) rather than a regular letter grade may be used by instructors only if a student has been excused from the completion of course requirements because of illness or other exceptional, compelling circumstances. Students may have no more than one calendar year after the end of the semester in which the grade was given, to resolve Incompletes. Unresolved Incompletes convert to F's after this time. This then becomes the final grade. |
| IP (In progress) |
The IP grade shall only be used for completion of theses and continuing graduate research. |
| W (Withdrawal) |
Is issued by the Office of the University Registrar when the student has officially withdrawn from a course with the instructor’s written consent. This procedure is accomplished only on an Action Request Form. "W" is not computed in the G.P.A. |
Computing the Grade-Point Average (G.P.A.)
For each semester's work, a semester's G.P.A. is computed by dividing the total number of Quality Points by the total number of Quality Hours.
Quality Points are computed by multiplying the grade points per hour by the credit hours of the course. Quality Hours are all graded credits taken at Adelphi University.
Earned Hours are credit hours awarded to the student for successful completion of academic course work or its equivalent.
Attempted Hours are the number of credit hours for which a student is actually registered, excluding courses that are audited, and those from which one has been officially dropped.
A student who has received advanced placement credit and/or transfer credit will have the cumulative G.P.A. computed on the basis of total quality hours at Adelphi.
