Grade points represent the translation of letter grades into numerical values.

The grades that have value are:

A     4.0 grade points for 1 credit

B     3.0 grade points for 1 credit

C     2.0 grade points for 1 credit

D     1.0 grade points for 1 credit

F     0.0 grade points for 1 credit


The semester GPA is the result of dividing the semester grade point total by the number of semester hours attempted (excluding any Incompletes, Withdrawals and Audits). An example of how to compute the grade point average is provided below.

Course NameCreditsGrade Points
ENGL 13013  C     3 credits X 2 points= 6
BIOL 1406B     4 credits X 3 points= 12
PSYC 23013F     3 credits X 0 points= 0
MATH 0302A     3 credits X 4 points= 12
PHED 11021A     1 credit   X 4 points= 4
 14 credits attempted34 points earned
34/14= 2.43 GPA
 
The cumulative GPA is the result of dividing the total of all grade points earned by the total number of hours attempted (excluding Incompletes, Withdrawals, and Audits). Cumulative grade point does not include developmental course work grades.

BIOL 14064B     4 credits X 3 points= 12
PSYC 23013F     3 credits X 0 points= 0
MATH 0302(3)*A
PHED 11021A     1 credit   X 4 points=  4
 11 credits attempted 22 points earned
22/11= 2.0 GPA
 
*Since no grade points or hours are given for Incompletes, Withdrawals, Audits, or developmental work, the credits for MATH 0302 are not used in computing the cumulative GPA. Grades for developmental course work are only used for calculating the semester’s GPA. The semester GPA is used to determine Probation and Suspension status.
