Academic Grading System

 

How we Assess Student Learning and Academic Achievement

Plus / minus letter grades (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, etc.) are used for undergraduate, certificate, and graduate programs to fairly and objectively assess student learning and academic achievement. They are recorded in official transcripts and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The grading system adopted by California Intercontinental University is listed in course syllabi and is as follow:
