How Missouri State Records Grades
Missouri State University uses a plus/minus letter grading system with quality points ranging from 4.00 (A) down to 0.00 (F); no A+ grade is awarded. The same point scale applies to both undergraduate (100–500 level) and graduate (600-level and above) coursework. Grades earned through transfer credit are recorded with a "T" prefix (for example, TA, TB+) alongside the equivalent Missouri State grade and quality-point value.
