Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total quality points earned by the total number of credits attempted. All credits for which the student is officially registered after the change of program period of each semester shall be considered “attempted credits,” except where the grades carry no penalty (i.e., grades of W, WA, WU, INC, AUD, NC, and PEN). For example:
Course | Grade | Credits | Quality Points per credit | Total Quality Points | ||
ENG 111 | A | 3 | x | 4 | = | 12 |
POL 100 | B | 4 | x | 3 | = | 12 |
MTH 130 | C | 3 | x | 2 | = | 6 |
ANT 100 | D | 3 | x | 1 | = | 3 |
LIB 102 | F | 1 | x | 0 | = | 0 |
Total Credits | 14 | Total Quality Points | 33 | |||
GPA | = | Quality Points | = | 33 | = | 2.36 |
Total Credits Attempted | 14 |
