The mandatory curve for elective courses, which applies to any elective course with 40 or more students enrolled, is as follows:
| Grade | GPA Points | Cumulative % |
| A- | 3.7 | maximum of 30% |
| B+ | 3.3 | maximum of 50% |
| B- | 2.7 | maximum of 85% |
Thus, a professor may give, cumulatively, no more than 30% A's and A-'s; no more
than 50% A's, A-'s, and B+'s; and no more than 85% A's, A-'s, B+'s, B's, and B-'s.
