Grades

Grading Scale

YSU does not have a University-wide grading scale. Therefore, each YSU instructor may determine what percentage scale to use in his/her class. The college grade is posted to both the high school and college transcript.

YSU does define grades in the following manner (quoted from the YSU Undergraduate Catalog):

  • A grade of A represents exceptional work in which the student shows that he or she has firmly grasped and achieved the objectives of the course.
  • A grade of B indicates very good work and a considerable grasp of the essentials of the course.
  • A grade of C indicates good work and a usable grasp of the essentials of the course.
  • A grade of D indicates a definite, but not necessarily coherent, knowledge of the course.
  • A grade of F indicates that the student has not achieved even a minimum grasp of the essentials of the course. This grade can also result from failure to withdraw officially from a course.

These definitions are taken into consideration when a final grade is determined at the end of a course.

Note: State policy prevents a CCP student from taking a course for Credit/No Credit (CR/NC). 

Getting your Grades

Your CCP instructor should provide you (the student) with your final YSU grade. If he/she does not, you can access your unofficial transcript through the YSU portal.

Disputing your Grade

College Credit Plus students follow the YSU Academic Grievance policy for disputes regarding their course grade (whether offered online, on campus or at the high school).  

Any CCP student who does not feel his/her issue has been resolved after speaking with the instructor should contact the CCP staff as soon as possible. The CCP staff can help you navigate the academic grievance process.
