Grading at Miami
A grade point average is used to determine standing in class, eligibility for graduation, and eligibility for honors. It also serves to qualify the student for continuation in good standing and for decisions pertaining to probation and dismissal, continuation of scholarships, and other matters.
Prior to mid-semester, professors have an opportunity to provide students with information concerning their academic progress. If a student receives an Academic Alert, reports are mailed to the students at their local and permanent addresses.
The University of Miami uses a traditional 4.0 grading scale, with an A+ = 4.00, A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, B = 3.00, B- = 2.70, C+ = 2.30, C = 2.00, C- = 1.70, D+ = 1.30, D = 1.00, and F = 0.00.
End of semester grades can be found on the students myUM account several days after the end of each term.
