To the recipient of Wellesley College transcripts:

Like many institutions of higher learning, Wellesley College experienced some grade inflation over the last decades.  In spring 2004, Wellesley faculty passed a resolution to shift the college’s grading policy to correct for this inflation.  The new policy, in effect since the 2004-05 academic year, is that the mean grade in 100- and 200-level courses should normally be no higher than 3.33 (B+).  The policy has had the desired effect, and grades have declined somewhat since its implementation.

We hope that this information is helpful to you as you consider candidates from Wellesley College.
