At the beginning of the semester, each instructor should inform students of the criteria that will be used for assigning grades and of any other factors that may affect a student’s grade. Such information must also be included in the course syllabus.

Grades are to be submitted to the Director of Enrollment and Research Services at prescribed times electronically. See GRADE REPORTS.

The QVCC grading scale (Grade Quality Points) is shown below.
