Minimum Standard
The minimum standard for satisfactory work is a B average in each academic year.
Incomplete Grades (INC)
- A grade of C or INC is offset by a grade of A, and a D by two As (no account is taken of plus and minus).
- A grade of INC is granted only at the discretion of the instructor. A graduate student who receives a grade of INC must complete the work of the course before the end of the term following that in which the course was taken. If the work is not submitted by that time the INC becomes a permanent grade. A graduate student may petition the Dean's Office for an extension of time to complete the work of the incomplete course.
Grade Point Averages
- Grade point averages are not calculated for students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
- A unit of TIME is ungraded independent work equivalent to one half course or four credits.
Graduate students who cross register into another Harvard School should refer to that school's transcript legend for information about their Grading System.

Undergraduate rank list
From 1966 through August 2003, rather than assigning individual rank in class to students, Harvard College placed undergraduates in one of six Rank List Groups at the end of each academic year. Prior to 1966, Harvard College used various rules to define rank list, though the overall approach was quite similar.
Grade Point Averages
- Harvard College GPAs are counted cumulatively, not by semester
Important: Please note that transcript orders placed between the last day of a full-term course and the grade release date may not display current term grades and GPA.
Dean's List
Before fall of 2003, any student whose cumulative or annual Rank List Group is I, II, or III with a satisfactory record is placed on the Dean’s List during the following term.
After the fall of 2003, there is no longer a Dean's list.
John Harvard and Harvard College Scholarships
Before fall of 2003, students whose annual Rank List Group is I or II at the end of a full-time academic year are awarded an honorary, non-stipendiary scholarship:
- Group I students receive the John Harvard Scholarship
- Group II students receive the Harvard College Scholarship
Starting fall of 2003, students of the rising sophomore, junior, and senior classes in the top 5% of their respective classes will be designated John Harvard Scholars, based on the grade point average of the previous academic year. Students of the rising sophomore, junior, and senior classes in the top 10% of their respective classes who are not designated John Harvard Scholars will be designated Harvard College Scholars (if not already selected as a John Harvard Scholar). In years when John Harvard Scholars comprise 10% or more of classes due to ties, there are no Harvard College Scholars designated.
A student’s annual GPA will still be used to determine these awards, and to be eligible students must complete the full year and be in good academic and disciplinary standing. Announcements will be sent out by mid-November.
Academic Year 2024 - 2025
The GPA cutoff for these honorary scholarships are as follows:
John Harvard Scholarship GPA Cutoffs:
- Rising Sophomores: 4.000
- Rising Juniors: 4.000
- Rising Seniors: 4.000
Harvard College Scholarship: none designated
