# Grading Systems

#### Letter Grade Conversion

When you select a letter grade from the grade-entry dropdown, the minimum value will be stored. If you plan to use your grades for statistical purposes, we recommend entering a precise value. 

<table><thead><tr><th width="175">Minimum Value</th><th width="100">Letter</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>97</td><td>A+</td></tr><tr><td>93</td><td>A</td></tr><tr><td>90</td><td>A-</td></tr><tr><td>87</td><td>B+</td></tr><tr><td>83</td><td>B</td></tr><tr><td>80</td><td>B-</td></tr><tr><td>77</td><td>C+</td></tr><tr><td>73</td><td>C</td></tr><tr><td>70</td><td>C-</td></tr><tr><td>67</td><td>D+</td></tr><tr><td>63</td><td>D</td></tr><tr><td>60</td><td>D-</td></tr><tr><td>0</td><td>F</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Pass / Fail

Do not enter a numeric/letter value if you are assigning a Pass/Fail grade.
