Grading Policy Communication
Beginning with fall term 2004-05, grades awarded at Princeton University reflect new institutional grading expectations for undergraduate courses and independent work. The Dean of the College has prepared a letter that explains Princeton’s grading policy in further detail so that employers and admission deans can understand the academic records of Princeton students in context.
Students may use the Dean’s letter in the following ways:
- Download PDF - Dean’s Letter:
A PDF version of the Dean’s letter has been made available so that you may easily copy and attach this information to any material you wish (e.g., TigerTracks, employer websites, online applications). - E-mail Request - Dean’s Letter:
Students who are applying for jobs, internships, graduate and professional school admissions, fellowships, and other opportunities can have the Dean’s grading policy letter sent by e-mail to a designated addressee.
