About Your Grades
SUNY Brockport uses the grading system found in many colleges and universities, awarding a letter grade of "A" through "E" to indicate the level of accomplishment in each course for which you are registered. Each of these letters carries quality points, which are the basis for computing your semester index and cumulative index, often referred to as your grade point average (GPA).
