Standing in a courseGrading scheme (as of September 1998)
Students are assigned a grade in each course, as follows (Grades
earned prior to September 1998 remain as originally reported):
Grades of 'F', 'NC%' and 'FL%' are failing grades, yielding no standing in a course and no degree credit. Students are cautioned that a numerical score on an assignment is not deemed to be automatically equivalent to the corresponding letter grade. Credit/No credit courses Effective with the 2010 Summer Session, UTSC degree students may select up to 1.0 full credit of their degree credits to be assessed on a Credit/ No Credit basis. Students must choose this mode of assessment no later than the last day to enrol in the relevant course. Requests for this type of assessment are submitted to the Registrar’s Office via eService. Once the deadline has passed, students may not under any circumstances reverse this decision. To achieve a status of CR (Credit), a student must achieve a final mark of at least 60%. Marks below that will be assessed as NCR (No Credit). Courses with a final status of CR will count as degree credits but will have no effect on the student's GPA. They may count as Breadth Requirements and degree credits, but cannot be used to satisfy program requirements. Courses with
a final status of NCR will not count as degree credits but will not
count as failures, and will also not be included in the GPA calculation.
Students may exercise this option to a total of 1.0 full credit within the total number of credits required for a degree. Note: This option is available only for UTSC courses. The choice is not restricted as to year or level of course. This option is not available to UTSC non-degree students or to students from other faculties/divisions of the University of Toronto. Pass/Fail Certain courses, including some visual and performing arts courses, are graded on a Pass/Fail (P/F) basis. In these courses to achieve a status of P (Pass), a student must achieve a final mark of at least 50%. Where students earn a grad of "Pass" in a P/F course, the course in not included in the grade point average; where students earn a grade of "Fail," the course is included as an "F" (value zero) in the grade point average. In courses graded on a Pass/Fail basis (P/F), students may opt for a normal graded assessment with specific grades assigned. Students must choose this mode of assessment no later the last day to enrol in the relevant course. Requests for this type of assessment are made through the course instructor offering the course. once the deadline has passed, students may not, under any circumstances, reverse the decision. Aegrotat standingOn petition, a grade of "Aegrotat" (AEG) may be assigned. This grade is assigned on the basis of work completed where medical or similar evidence demonstrates that a student is unable to complete course requirements within a reasonable time, and where a student has already completed at least 60% of the work of the course with a grade of C minus or better. Where a student is assigned Aegrotat standing, the course counts as a credit but is not included in any grade point average. Students who require a letter grade will be expected to complete the work of the course. Extra (EXT) coursesExtra courses are those courses in which students may not register for credit (see "Course Selection" above in this section of the Calendar). The course and its grade will appear on the student's transcript (designated as an extra course) but the grade is not included in the student's grade point averages nor does the course count towards the degree. However, if appropriate, it may be used to satisfy program requirements. Other notationsThe following have no grade point value and do not yield credit:
Grade reports are not issued to students. Instead, final grades, grade point averages and academic standing are made available through ROSI. Grades are available as soon as they have been submitted and approved. Grade point averages for individual students are available shortly after the student's last grade is approved and academic standing is available in September, January and May. In addition, letters are mailed to students who are on academic probation, suspended or refused further registration. |
