How is grading done at CalArts?
Student progress is evaluated through the mentoring process and by a system of faculty reviews that includes a mid-residence review and a graduation review. Faculty judgments are documented by grades, review reports, a Critical Studies report on student progress in meeting the Critical Studies requirements, and by annual mentee progress reports and annual mentor’s reports. All of these reports are available to students as part of their official record. Please view for more information on Grades.
