A+ (97% and greater) Only used when a student’s performance significantly exceeds all requirements and expectations for the class. Typically very few to no students receive this grade.
A (90% to <97%) Excellent grasp of material and strong performance across the board, or exceptional performance in one aspect of the course offsetting somewhat less strong performance in another. Typically no more than a quarter of the students in a class receive this grade, fewer in lower-division classes.
