Mohawk College Student Assistance Program Top of Page Making the Grades:
As of Fall 2004, courses graded will be recorded on student transcripts in percentages, along with the credit value of each individual course. The minimum passing grade for all courses is 60%. Effective Fall 2004
Percentage Grades | Fall 1991-Spring 2004
Alpha Grades | | 100 - 95 | A+ | | 94 - 90 | A | | 89 - 85 | A- | | 84 - 80 | B+ | | 79 - 75 | B | | 74 - 70 | B- | | 69 - 65 | C+ | | 64 - 60 | C | | 59 - 0 | F | Dean's Honours will be awarded by the Dean of each Faculty at the end of each semester to students who have achieved a weighted GPA of 85% with no failures. The honours calculation prior to Fall 2004 will be calculated using a non-weighted GPA. Honours Graduate will be conferred on graduates who have achieved honours standing for each year of their program. This will include a non-weighted GPA for semesters prior to Fall 2004 and a weighted GPA for semesters Fall 2004 and beyond.

Such requests must be made and a decision conveyed by the Associate Dean prior to registration. Audit students will not be required to submit assignments or write tests and examinations. A credit will not be granted and the designation of "AU" will be assigned by the instructor at the end of the course. Regular course fees, as stated in College publications, will apply

- E-Exemption: Exemptions from a course will be granted by the program Associate Dean to a student who:

- Has successfully completed the prescribed exemption test(s). Application for exemption must be made to the Registration Centre or Student Services at other campuses no later than four weeks following the start of the semester.
