All courses offered for academic credit at Belmont University shall be graded on the following basis except as described below.
| A/A- | Grade of distinction |
| B+/B/B- | Represents excellent work, above average |
| C+/C/C- | Indicates average work |
| D+/D/D- | Represents minimally acceptable work |
| F | Indicates non-acceptable work; no credit is received. |

Students may view midterm and final grades through their BannerWeb account.
Midterm grades may be viewed by the student once the grade is posted by the instructor.
Final grades are available after instructors post the grades in BannerWeb, and the Office of the Registrar completes the academic procedures at the end of the term. The deadline for faculty to post ALL students, including graduating students (GS), final grades is 12 p.m. CST on the Monday following Commencement. Students may view final grades, GPAs, and Academic Standing by the Wednesday following Commencement. Grade reports are not mailed. Students may print an unofficial transcript or request an official transcript through BannerWeb.
The student may repeat any course which was previously taken at Belmont if the student wishes to improve the grade. The student will not be allowed to repeat the course more than once with the exception of an “F” grade which may be repeated an unlimited number of times. The last grade earned will be posted to the transcript as the officially recognized grade for the course unless it is lower than the first grade. The original grade will remain on the transcript but will not be figured into the cumulative grade average. All “repeat” courses must be taken at Belmont. A course grade transferred from another institution may not be removed by repeating the course at Belmont.
