Grading Scale

The faculty of the Department of Modern Languages uses the following grading scale for determining letter grade distinctions in all courses and sections:

  • A= 90-100%
  • B= 80-89%
  • C= 70-79%
  • D= 60-69%
  • F= 59% or lower

The Department of Modern Languages (DML) adheres to the University Grading System and Policies as published in the UC Denver Catalog. This includes the recognition that instructors may, at their own discretion or as required by DML language coordinators, assign grades of plus or minus to students' semester grades.

Grades with plus or minus carry the equivalent quality points (GPA) following the system as outlined in the university's Academic Policies and Regulations.

Students having questions about the division of each letter grade into plus or minus grades should consult the course syllabus or contact the individual instructor.
