<p>If I am an Amherst student, and I take a course at (Smith, Mt Holyoke, U Mass, Hampshire):</p>
<p>Do I merely get the credit for that course on my Amherst transcript? Or is the grade for that course recorded on my Amherst transcript and figured into the Amherst GPA reported by the Amherst registrar on my Amherst transcript?</p>
<p>
GRADES </p>
<p>The grade in the course will conform to the grading system current at the receiving institution. No student can receive a grade in an interchange course that is not valid at the institution where the course is taught. (Hampshire is the only other college that uses A+.) </p>
<p>Five College interchange grades are recorded on the Amherst College transcript as given by the institution offering the course. For the purpose of determining averages, these grades are accorded the same value on Amherst’s 14-point scale as the corresponding Amherst grades. D+ and D-, which are not used by Amherst, are accorded 5 points and 3 points respectively. Grades of Fail from Hampshire, NP from Mount Holyoke and E from Smith are treated as F’s. A grade of Pass, like the Amherst grade P, does not affect the average.
