SLAIS: The iSchool at UBC Marking Policy

Letter Grades & Grading Policy

Many faculty members assign letter grades to papers and assignments. Below is shown an explanation of what each letter grade assigned by a SLAIS instructor means. However, grades are reported to the Registrar on a percentage basis, and appear in that form on your transcript. In addition, the Registrar's computer automatically converts percentage grades to letter grades, which also appear on your transcript.
