Grading Criteria

Regent Law calculates cumulative grade-point averages and class ranks for all students. The mean grade is a “B” in the grading system. In addition to a student’s academic record, we urge you to give serious consideration to a student’s total profile to include factors such as prior work or military experience,  extra-curricular activities, undergraduate performance, personality, specific substantive or geographic interests, and faculty recommendations.

Completed course work will be assigned a letter grade which carries quality points according to the following scale:

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of hours attempted.  Repeated courses are treated differently.
