* NOTE: Please connect with your department chair to discuss details regarding grading scheme standards used in your department or program of study. The following grading scheme is widely used at Miami University and throughout higher education:

Additionally, when adding the range for each letter grade in Canvas, you should enter only whole numbers. For example, while an A- is scored between 90-92.9%, you would only enter 93 in the lower A grade range. This will autofill as "< 93%" for the upper range for an A-.

Letter Grade and Percentage Range:
A+ = 97-100%
A = 93-96.9%
A- = 90-92.9%
B+ = 87-89.9%
B = 83-86.9%
B- = 80-82.9%
C+ = 77-79.9%
C = 73-76.9%
C- = 70-72.9%
D+ = 67-69.9%
D = 63-66.9%
D- = 60-62.9%
F = Below 60%
