Grading Key
CGS has recently revised the grading format. The past “1-5” score scale was based upon an established range for that particular program area. Effective January 1, 2022, all final grades will be recorded as the actual numerical score earned. For example, students who earn a 92 in a course will see 92 on their transcript for that particular course. Please use the table below when reviewing transcripts.
