The university uses the following grades:

  • A—for excellent work
  • B—for good work
  • C—for fair work
  • D—for poor work
  • F—for failure
  • IX—for unfinished incomplete
  • I—for incomplete
  • P—for grade of B, C, or D in courses taken under the A/Pass/F grading option
  • Cr—for credit in courses for which no letter grade is given (nongraded courses)
  • NC—for no credit in courses for which no letter grade is given (nongraded courses)
  • NR—for no grade reported
  • NX—for NR converted to the equivalent to F
  • W—for withdrawn
  • XF—Violation of Honor Code

For each semester hour of graded work, students earn points, as follows:

  • A=4
  • B=3
  • C=2
  • D=1
  • F=0
  • IX=0
  • XF=0

Courses in which a CR or P grade is received will be used in fulfilling graduation requirements.

Only the grades A, B, C, D, F and XF are used in calculating grade averages.

Students may access their grades at the conclusion of their course via the Web and the K-State Access Technology System (KATS) at http://kats.k-state.edu.
