Hey everyone! I am considering applying to Fitchburg State University, but I'm curious about their grading scale. Does anyone know how it works? Are they using the typical A-F scale, or something different?
Hi there! Fitchburg State University uses a standard A-F grading scale, with plus and minus grading increments. Here's a breakdown of how their grading scale works:
- A: 4.0
- A-: 3.7

- B-: 2.7
