The Faculty of Law, in addition, uses a CR/D/F system for certain of its courses.
A system of grading which carries no weight in the determination of grade point averages (as follows) is used by the Cumming School of Medicine for its MD program.
CR - Completed requirements
RM - Remedial work required
F - Fail
Certain courses in other faculties are also graded on a CR/F basis and are identified by the notation "Not Included in GPA" in the course description section of this Calendar. The grades in these courses are not included in the calculation of the grade point average. Such courses may be required in certain programs for graduation purposes, as indicated in the faculty sections of this Calendar, but will carry no weight in the determination of grade point averages.
University policy requires that students' grades in a course are reported according to the grading scheme of the faculty giving the course (regardless of the faculty in which a student is registered) and are so recorded on students' transcripts of record.
