The Colleges of Human Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine assign letter grades only to their students enrolled at the Graduate-Professional level. A very small number of these students earn numerical grades in courses in disciplinary departments of other colleges. Post-Doctoral level excluded. The above numbers represent the average of all grades. Prior to Fall 2006, Graduate Certification students were reported under the Lifelong Graduate student level.
