GRADING
■ Standards for Grading
○ Instructors evaluate students' academic performance in accordance with the grading
standards specified on the syllabus of their courses for that semester.
○ If a student attends less than 3/4 of the classes, his/her grade will be „F‟.
○ Scores are calculated based on one's mid-term exam, final exam,
assignments, quizzes, attitude, attendance, presentations, etc. (A calculating method can
differ from each instructor).
■ Grading System
○ Lecture courses and combined courses(lecture & experiment) are evaluated with a letter
grade. Courses that instructors have difficulty with giving exact grades can be evaluated
with S (successful) or U (unsuccessful).
○ Grades over D-, and S are recognized as acquired credits. Details of grading system are
as follows:
Grades A+ Ao A- B+ B o B- C+ C o C- D+ Do D- F S U
Not Not
Point 4.3 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.3 1.0 0.7 0.0
Calculated Calculated
○ GPA is defined as follows:
(Each grade point×Credits)
GPA=
Applied credits
(GPA should be calculated down to two decimal places and the numbers to three decimal
places should be rounded off.)
■ Grade browsing and correction
○ Students can see their grades during the correction period right after the end of the
semester. If a student has an objection about the grades and he/she is justified, he/she can
request grade correction from his/her instructor.
* Notice: When a student does not participate in course evaluation, he/she is not allowed to
browse the grades.
○ Objection and correction is not allowed after the correction period in principle.
■ Course Drop and Withdrawal
○ Course Drop
- When a student wants to drop a course within 3 weeks after the starting date
of the semester, he/she is required to apply for "Course Drop" on portal site.
After getting approval from advisor and school head, the course will be
deleted from registration record.
○ Withdrawal
- When a student withdraws from a course within the period from the 4th to the 9th week
after the starting date of the semester, 'W' will be given instead of a grade('W' is not
calculated for GPA calculation and not acquired as credits).
- The process is the same as that of course drop.
- After a student repeats the withdrawn course and receives a grade, 'W' will be
deleted and “RW”(Repeated after Withdrawal) will be given before the course
classification(If a student does not repeat the course, 'W' still remains).
■ Repeating a Course
○ A course, that has been already taken, can be repeated only one time regardless of the
previous grade, but required courses can be repeated without any limit.
○ The maximum grade which can be achieved by repeating a course is up to 'B+'.
○ When course repeating occurs, the previous grade should be deleted and the new grade
remains with the mark "R" before its course classification.
■ Sending out Academic Score Reports and Academic Warnings
○ At the end of the semester, an academi c score report is sent to a student's
home.
○ Students who received a GPA lower than 2.0 will receive an academic warning (Not
applied to the final semester for graduation).
○ Possible credits to be registered for the next semester are up to credits that students
received right before the semester(ex. the credits will be limited to 15 credits when
students got an academic warning, however can extend to 18 credits on condition of
advisor's approval).
○ If a student receives an academic warning three times in total, he/she will be expelled.
■ Grade browsing
○ Grade browsing for the semester
- Portal - ERP - Grade - Grade browsing of this semester
- Students can browse their grades during the period right after the end of the semester but
they cannot see the grades of the courses if the course evaluation has not been completed.
○ Grade browsing for all semesters
- Portal - ERP - Grade - Transcripts
- Students can browse total credits earned, and total GPA.
