School of Dentistry SFR 779
In order to provide additional clarity to the SOD grading system, the single overview paragraph in SFR 779 was expanded into four separate sections, including adding a section for Honors.
Into those four sections, information was added specifying that certain grades are only to be used for courses with zero (0) units for that quarter. Further in those sections, duplicative or unnecessary information was deleted. Also made clearer is the reference to the type of grade that can be assigned in the terminal quarter for courses that extend beyond one academic quarter. The fourth section, on the newly-designated IP grade, was added.
