The University College of the Caribbean
At the end of each academic year
grade reports are issued to participants.
The quality of each student’s
achievement is assessed by means of
a system of grades and quality points,
and by the computation of a Grade
Point Average (GPA). Each grade is
assigned a numerical value as follows:
A
A- |
90-100
80-89
|
3.51-
4.00 |
Min.
grade 60%

| By totaling all quality points
obtained, the resulting number
is divided by the total credits
attempted (10 or 11) and the
final figure is the Grade
Point Average |
|
INCOMPLETE GRADE
- An ‘I’ (for Incomplete)
grade may be given in modules/courses
where the student has not completed
the required course work by the
end of the module/term. The participant
should make arrangements to have
the ‘I’ changed to a
final grade by the lecturer and
Programmes Department within one
week of the publication of the final
results. If no change is indicated
within this period, the ‘I’
will automatically become an ‘F’
on the student’s permanent
record. If the course work is completed,
resulting in a passing grade, the
student’s transcript or grade
report will be amended and final
GPA (Associate Degree Course only)
calculated.
