The following system of grading us used at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College.
| Grade | Description | Quality Points |
| A | Superior | 4 |
| B | Good | 3 |
| C | Average | 2 |
| D | Below Average | 1 |
| F | Failure | 0 |
| W | Withdrawal | 0 |
| I | Incomplete | 0 |
| NC | No Credit | No Quality Point |
| AU | Audit | No Quality Point |
| CR | Credit | 0(used for various non-traditional credit only) |
The grade point average is computed on all work for which you have registered with the exception of courses with grades of "W", "CR" and courses repeated (see "D and F" rule). The grade point average is the ratio of the number of quality points gained to the number of credit hours attempted.
To compute the overall grade point average, add all quality points and divide this by the number of hours attempted. Courses in which grades of "W" have been given are ignored but a grade of "F" is included in hours attempted with "0" quality points.
If a student earns a "D" or "F" in a course, he or she is eligible to repeat the course. The original "D" or "F" must occur no later than the semester in which a total of 60 hours is attempted. The grade earned the second time the course is taken will be used to determine the grade point average, if the course is repeated prior to the receipt of a degree of certificate from Southern. The first grade recorded will be identified on the permanent record as a repeated course. The original grade will not be deleted from the student's official transcript.
Grade is approved by the appropriate Division Chair and subsequently forwarded to the Registrar. A student must complete the requirements for the course in which the "I" grade was received within the next full semester or the "I" grade will automatically be changed to a grade of "F". The instructor must file the specific forms for a final grade change with the Records Office. The student does not re-register.
