In short, the Plus/Minus system will be implemented in Maymester for a three year trial. 

The breakdown will be A (4.0), A- (3.7), B+ (3.3), B (3.0), B- (2.7), C+ (2.3), C (2.0), C- (1.7), D (1.0) and F (0.0). 

Where did D+ go?  One of the central arguments for not having an A+ is to balance the number of plus and minus grades.  In the proposed system, this balance does not exist.

The numerical breakdown (What does an A equal, what does an A- equal…) will be at the discretion of the professor.

And finally, perhaps the most interesting point…”For purposes of University policies or regulations which state that “a grade of C or better is required,” a grade of C will be considered a 2.0. This means that for these policies and regulations, a grade of C- will not satisfy the standard. The same is true for rules and regulations that require “a B or better” or “a grade of A.” An A- or B- will not satisfy this standard.”
