Good to know
UM-Dearborn's failing grade is E, its A+ is capped at 4.0, and A+/D- are not used by CECS instructors (A+ also not used in CEHHS), so the usable scale differs by college.
Every figure here was read from Michigan-Dearborn’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so instead of presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
