In terms prior to and including 1985, any of the above grades might be preceded
by an R indicating a repeated course. These grades are not included in either
total hours or the grade-point average. (Examples: RC, RD, RF.) Since 1985,
all grades, including those in repeated courses, are included in the GPA calculation. For the 1993 Fall Semester, UMKC began using the plus/minus
grading system for grades A, B, C, and D. The grade of A+ is valid only for
students in the School of Law.
