Understanding Your Grades


For each of your courses, you will be assigned a grade. The type of grade you may receive can vary. For some courses, you may receive a numeric grade, while in others you may receive a Pass/Fail or other type of grade. Normally, you can verify the type of grading scheme for each course by referring to your course syllabus. Throughout your course, your instructor may provide you with your in-progress grades. Checking on your progress is a good idea to ensure you continue to stay on track.

Upon completion of your course, you will be issued a final grade which will appear on your Academic Transcript.

Transcript

Your Lakehead University transcript shows your complete academic history from your initial point of contact until the date it is printed. On the reverse of the official transcript, you will find a legend which explains credit weight, abbreviations and Lakehead University's grading system.
