Grading at York University
York uses an alphabetic system for grading. At the end of a school-year
Professors are only allowed to hand in a grade between
F and A+. The
definition of these grades are:
A+ exceptional; A excellent; B+ very good; B good; C+ competent;
C fairly competent; D+ passing; D barely passing;
E marginally failing;
F failing.
Since final grades are based on a number of different sources such as
assignments, presentations, tests and participation, and each of
these are
worth different values, when you get back a paper, it might just indicate
the grade or be followed by the words
high or low e.g. Chigh or
Blow.
In order to get the corresponding numerical value FOR THIS COURSE, use the following
table.
