Grading System
MATC's grading system is established by District Board Policy D0800 and applies to all instructional divisions, covering Degree, Diploma, Advanced Technical Certificate, and Adult High School programs.
In addition to the letter grades above, MATC uses the following non-GPA status symbols: AU (Audit), CR (Credit by Exam or Experiential Learning), I (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), P (Pass), R (Replace), TR (Transfer Courses), W (Withdrawal), and WE (Work Experience). These symbols appear on transcripts but carry no grade points and are not factored into GPA. The U (Unsatisfactory/Failing) grade does carry 0 grade points and is included in GPA calculations as a failing grade.

Why does MATC use a U grade instead of F?
MATC designates unsatisfactory or failing performance with the grade U (Unsatisfactory/Failing) rather than the letter F used at many other institutions. The U grade carries 0 grade points and is included in GPA calculations the same way an F would be at other schools. This is established in District Board Policy D0800, which applies to all MATC instructional divisions.
