Grading

 Grades

HTU uses a standard 4-point grading system, like that used in most  other postsecondary institutions in the US. All courses are graded using  this scale. A student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average of all  grades earned, based on the scale below. Certain courses are graded on a  Pass/Fail basis (e.g. Institutional Requirement courses); these courses  are not awarded academic credit.

Grading Scale

Grade points are determined on the basis of hours attempted according to the following scale:

A         (94-100)          4.0

A-        (90-93)                        3.7

B+        (87-89)                        3.3

B          (84-86)                        3.0

B-        (80-83)                        2.7

C+        (77-79)                        2.3

C          (74-76)                        2.0
