Grading Table
Competency-based Grades
This grading system is based on satisfactory acquisition of defined skills or successful completion of the course learning outcomes. It is used where standard numerical grades are not generally applied, for example in evaluating practicum performance or work placements, in pass/fail courses or for non-credit courses.
| Grade |
Description |
| AAV |
ABOVE AVERAGE -The student has mastered all or most course objectives/requirements in a minimum time frame and has exemplified good work and study habits. |
| COM |
COMPLETE – denotes that the student has mastered a satisfactory number of course objectives/requirements in a non-credit course |
| CRG |
CREDIT GRANTED - denotes that the student performance was satisfactory in a credit course. |
| NCG |
NO CREDIT GRANTED - denotes that the student performance was unsatisfactory. |
| PCG |
PARTIAL CREDIT GRANTED – denotes that the student has successfully completed a portion of the course objectives in a credit course. |
