Evaluation of Academic Performance: Grades
The Registrar’s Office provides students with a credit report or transcript, by request. This report includes letter grades and narrative evaluations from faculty. The letter grade represents a numeric rating of student performance. In addition, letter grades determine student status: good standing, academic probation, suspension, and dismissal. Antioch College uses the standard 4.0, plus/ minus grading system. Each letter grade is associated with a grade point, which is established to determine a student’s grade point average. The grade point average is calculated at the end of each quarter.
