Academic Records and Grade Codes

Academic Record

The academic record is a statement that explains the student’s academic progress. It includes the courses studied in each semester, course numbers and codes, number of credit hours, the grades earned, and the codes and points assigned to these grades. The record also shows the semester and cumulative GPAs and the student’s general academic status, in addition to the courses from which a transferred student is exempt.
