grading policy

How scores work

A grading policy is the set of rules governing how student work is evaluated and scored in a course or institution.

It typically specifies what counts toward the final grade, how late work is handled, and whether curves or extra credit apply.

The syllabus outlined a strict grading policy with no makeup exams.
