English as an International Language (EIL)

 

Grading

The EIL program follows the university grading scale as follows:

A Exceptional Achievement 4.00
A- 3.70
B+ 3.40
B Above Average Quality 3.00
B- 2.70
C+ 2.40
C Acceptable Work 2.00
C- 1.70
D+ 1.40
D Not Fully Satisfactory 1.00
D- 0.07
F 0.00

Grades do not reflect the students' effort, but their ability to perform in the target language.

Another possible grade is the "X" grade, which indicates that continued registration is necessary for completion of the class. The X grade is used when a student needs more than one semester or term to achieve the required proficiency of a course, though the quantity of the work has been satisfactory. To receive credit and a grade for the class, the student must register in a subsequent semester or term and achieve the proficiency required.
