Grades
The FGSBS uses a letter grade system from A to F. All grades are converted to points in computing grade point averages (GPA). The FGSBS does not adds a plus or a minus to the grade.
Substituting another course for one completed with a low grade is not permitted. Work completed at another graduate school is not transferrable to the FGSBS.
