1For those undergraduate students who entered the University between Fall 1974 through Spring 1991, the grade of F was not used in the computation of the Grade Point Average (GPA) until Summer 1999. For those undergraduates who entered the University beginning Summer 1991, the grade of F was used in the computation of the GPA. Re-admitted undergraduate students were graded under the F-policy in effect at the time of their last enrollment until Summer 1999. Until Summer 1999, the I, X, IX grades were not required to be removed and were not used in the computation of the GPA.
2The School of Dentistry grades of D and F are unacceptable but may be remediated upon approval (See Dental Bulletin for further information); the grades of D and F are always included in the computation of the Grade Point Average (GPA). As of the Fall 2003 term, the grade of D was eliminated from the School of Dentistry grading system making it no longer a valid grade.

ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ Grading Systems
ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵassigns two kinds of grades: midterm grades and final grades. Midterm grades are required for most undergraduate classes and do not remain on the permanent record. Final grades are assigned to all students and remain on the permanent record.
Midterm and final grades are posted online via the week after the exam period. The university does not mail grade reports to students or parents.
See the bulletin for .
ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ Transcript Acceptable Use
A transcript is the complete and unabridged record of all academic work attempted at ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵand includes only those ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵcourses in which a student was/is enrolled. It also includes the degree and major of the student, once a student completes his/her degree at Marquette. Course, grade and degree information contained on the transcript is released only upon written consent from the student as required by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. See Marquette's FERPA policy.
A transcript from ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵis considered unofficial and should not be accepted or used for verification purposes of any kind if it is received by you from the student or any 3rd party, other than the two entities listed below:
- ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ's Office of the Registrar. The transcript will be sealed in an Office of the Registrar envelope, printed on security paper and mailed by U.S. Mail or Fed Ex.
- Delivered electronically directly to you via Parchment on behalf of ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ.
When received from the Office of the Registrar or Parchment, you can be confident that this is the official ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵtranscript and has not been altered in any way.
To that end, it is vitally important that any time there is a need to view the academic record of a ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵstudent, only the official transcript is requested and accepted.
How do I...
Students who need assistance with anything concerning transcripts should contact ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵCentral at 414-288-4000.
