Grade scale

<p>I have looked and looked but can't seem to find this on the website. How do number grades relate to letter grades which then relate to GPA? So confusing! Thanks!</p>

<p>[USC:</a> Office of the University Registrar: Student Information](<a href=“University Registrar - University Registrar | University of South Carolina”>University Registrar - University Registrar | University of South Carolina) under grading will show you how letter grades convert to GPA. To see exactly what number grade equals letter grade I would look at the individual class syllabus. Some are standard 90-100 = A but I have seen scales where 85+ = A. I think it depends on whether professor factors a curve in before or after grade. Several of D’s math/CS classes used deviations. I’m pretty sure faculty are required to have the grading scale on the syllabus as well as the way assignments are weighted.</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>Grading for each course is up to the professor!</p>

<p>I got a 90 in a class and it was a B+. But then there are classes where an 80 or above is an A.</p>

<p>The only official grades are letters: A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, and F. USC doesn’t use minuses.</p>
