A "DR" shows that a student was enrolled in a particular course and decided to drop it.
Late Drops (DR) Courses dropped after the official Add/Drop Period are recorded on the transcript with a grade of “DR” (dropped). Students are financially liable for all courses dropped after the Add/Drop period. Learn more about dropping classes.
These grades denote the character of study and are assigned quality points as follows: A Excellent 4 grade points per credit B Good 3 grade points per credit C Average 2 grade points per credit D Poor 1 grade point per credit F Failure 0 grade points per credit I Incomplete No credit, used for verifiable, unavoidable ...
DN. Distinction: A superior performance; mark range 75-84.
C - this is a grade that rests right in the middle. C is anywhere between 70% and 79% D - this is still a passing grade, and it's between 59% and 69% F - this is a failing grade.
The typical letter grades awarded for participation in a course are (from highest to lowest) A, B, C, D and F. Variations on the traditional five-grade system allow for awarding A+, A, A−, B+, B, B−, C+, C, C−, D+, D, D−, and F. In primary and secondary schools, a D is usually the lowest passing grade.
Australian Grading System for Undergraduate
For undergraduate level in the Australian university grading system, the minimum required pass grade is “P”. The grade C indicates the student has scored a score percentage anywhere from 50 to 64.
Is 75 % an "A" Grade In Australia? For primary, secondary, or senior secondary schools (high schools), achieving 75% is a "B" grade (Good). For most universities or colleges, earning a grading score between 75 and 84 per cent is a Distinction (D) grade, the second-best Grade.
An "N" grade carries with it no credit or grade until a regular grade is assigned.
A letter grade of a D is technically considered passing because it not a failure. A D is any percentage between 60-69%, whereas a failure occurs below 60%. Even though a D is a passing grade, it's barely passing. As such, it is not looked at favorably.
[A grade of "D plus" (1.3) or lower is not a passing grade.]
C+, C, C- indicates satisfactory performance. D+, D, D- indicates less than satisfactory performance. F indicates unsatisfactory performance (no credit: always include last date of attendance). P indicates Pass (A-, B and C will automatically be replaced by "P" when the Pass/No Pass option has been requested.
DR and WP grades do not affect GPA.
Grade points are assigned as follows:
A = 4.0. A- = 3.7. B+ = 3.3. B = 3.0.
Most of the universities in Australia will consider anywhere between 70 and 84 score as a Distinction which is equivalent to A in the states.
A+ - Higher Distinction (80-100%) A - Distinction (75-79%) B+ - Credit Pass (70-74%) B - Credit Pass (65-69%)
A 2:2 = C (50%-60%) A 3rd = D (45%-50%) A Pass = E (40%-45%)
What are letter grades and how do they convert into percentages? Common examples of grade conversion are: A+ (97–100), A (93–96), A- (90–92), B+ (87–89), B (83–86), B- (80–82), C+ (77–79), C (73–76), C- (70–72), D+ (67–69), D (65–66), D- (below 65).
Thus, an A is a 95, halfway between 90 and 100. An A- is a 91.25, halfway between 90 and 92.5. Etc. Grades between these are averages.
Use of Plus/Minus Grading
The letter grades A, B, C, and D have the suffix plus (+) or minus (-) included to distinguish higher and lower performances within each of these letter grades.
