UCSD Summer Session
High School Students - Grading / Transcripts
Grading
Students are expected to complete all assignments, take all examinations, attend classes regularly, and hand in all work by the end of the session. For more information on grading and transcripts, please select a link at the left.
The grading system is:
| Grade | Grade Points Per Unit | Interpretation |
| A+, A, A- | 4.0, 4.0, 3.7 | Excellent |
| B+, B, B- | 3.3, 3.0, 2.7 | Good |
| C+, C, C- | 2.3, 2.0, 1.7 | Fair |
| D | 1 | Poor (barely passing) |
| F | 0 | Fail |
| P | 0 | Pass (C- or better, assigned to undergraduate students only.) |
| NP | 0 | Not Pass (Below C-, assigned to undergraduate students only) |
| S | 0 | Satisfactory (B- or better, assigned to graduate students only.) |
| U | 0 | Unsatisfactory (Below B-, assigned to graduate students only.) |
| I | Incomplete | (See Incomplete link at left) |
Incomplete Grades
To receive a grade of "I", work must be of passing quality, and there must be good reason for not being able to complete the course (illness, for example).
Submit the Request for an Incomplete Grade form to the instructor prior to the day before final exams. The form must be approved by your instructor who must forward it with the final grade roster to the academic department. An "I" grade will be replaced with the assigned grade upon completion of the required work as outlined in your agreement with the instructor, if approved by the Registrar, but no later than the last day of finals week of the Fall 2008 quarter.
If not replaced by this date, the "I " grade will lapse into an "F", "NP", or "U" grade, depending on your student status.
Transfer Credits
UCSD Summer Session courses are approved for credit by the Committee on Educational Policy and can generally be equated to corresponding courses at other universities. However, all high school students should consult with own institutions prior to enrolling in Summer Session to confirm that the courses they plan to take will be accepted for credit in their particular program.
Grading Options
Students may elect a Pass/Not Pass option (undergraduates) or a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (graduates) for a course by checking the appropriate box on the enrollment form, add/drop card or through WebReg. A grade of Pass is recorded for work that otherwise would receive a grade of C- or better for undergraduate students. Graduate students must earn a grade of B- or above for a Satisfactory. See the 2008 Deadlines Calendars for more information: Session I, Session II, Special Session.
How to Get Your Grades
Unofficial grades are usually available via Web Reg two weeks after the end of final examinations. Your PID and PAC are required to access your records on Web Reg. Transcripts are not available until all grades have been recorded for each session.
Official transcripts must be requested from the Office of the Registrar. For more information please see How to Request a Transcript.
