The University uses school‐specific grading scales. Most schools at Columbia University use the standard A-F grading scale. For complete information on your school’s grading policies, please check your school bulletin. Questions regarding the meaning and appropriate use of grades should be sent to the dean of the relevant school.
Undergraduate students always receive traditional letter grades when taking a course outside of their school of enrollment, regardless of the grading system in use in either school. Go here for more information on Standard Grading Scales, Alternate Grading Scales, and grading for Cross Registrants.
