Is an instructor for a course required to use plus and minus grades?
The plus/minus grading system is the official grading system aproved by the Board of Regents for a three-year period. It is the only grading system approved for the University of Georgia. All grades for Fall 2006 and throughout the three-year period will be provided in this plus/minus grading system. The assignment of grades in a course is the responsibility of the instructor. The new plus/minus system provides more grade options, but how those options are used is the decision of the instructor.
