Grading

The SILS grading policy is based on the University Grading Policy. SILS uses the graduate grading scale, which is defined as follows:

H - Clear excellence
P - Entirely satisfactory
L - Low passing
F - Failed
IN - Work incomplete

Although pluses and minuses (e.g. H-, P+) are used in the internal grades awarded by the school, only H, P, L, and F will appear on the official transcript. Pluses and minuses on the internal record are used to determine class rank and Beta Phi Mu candidacy.

Ethics

All SILS students must follow the University Honor Code. In brief, the Honor Code requires students to refrain from giving or receiving unauthorized aid: cheating and plagiarism are strictly prohibited and punished. All students should read the guide to the Honor Code in the SILS catalog.
