IV. EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES

credit shall be exempt from these examinations when held.
2. Grades for all graduate work are turned in to the Registrar's
office at the close of each term.
s. The following system of grades is used to indicate class
standing in graduate courses: 4 denotes marked distinction, 3
denotes above average, 2 denotes average, 1 denotes below
average, C denotes conditioned, F denotes failed. In addition
to these grades which are to be interpreted as having the same
significance as for undergraduate courses, the grade P, which
denotes passed, may be used at the discretion of the instructor,
in the case of seminar, research, or other work which does not
lend itself to more specific grading. In the case of students who
are planning to take a Master's degree and of undergraduates,
when allowed to carry graduate work, specific grades are required.
The same scholastic requirements apply to students who expect
to receive a Master's degree as are in force for undergraduates.
