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- W—for withdrawn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.
