The letter grades used and the grade point equivalents are as below.

2 Other Grading Notations
Under certain defined circumstances, notations are used instead of letter grades to represent standing. The only notations permissible in the International Graduate Programs are the following:
-a notation of Pass or Non-Pass may be assigned, subject to the approval of the SITE, in certain very special courses involving Social work in China, practicum, field work, and/or other complex activities not easily adaptable to the four-point system of grading
-Audit: a notion of Aud will be assigned to any course in which the students have audited.
-The thesis is graded Pass or Non-Pass. The oral defence is graded Pass or Non-Pass
-Fail: a notation of F will be assigned to any course in which the student has failed
-if a thesis, research essay, or independent research project, is not completed by the end of the period of registration, the notation of In Progress will be recorded. The notation In Progress may, subject to the approval of the Faculty of SITE, be used for a research seminar, i.e., a seminar in which students present the results of their thesis research. This notation must be replaced by an appropriate final notation or grade （as specified above） after the thesis, research essay, independent research project, or research seminar has been examined. In cases where a student has registered in a research essay or a thesis without completing it and later undertakes course work to complete the degree program, or loses graduate student status in the program, the notation In Progress will remain as a permanent entry on the student's record.
