Academic Catalog 2024-2025

Grade Point Average

Transcript letter grades may be assigned with a + or -, but grade points will reflect only a letter grade in the computation of the GPA. A student’s cumulative GPA is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted. Each credit hour is awarded a grade point value as indicated here:

  • Each hour of A is awarded 4 grade points. For example, a 3-credit hour course with a grade of A is awarded 12 total grade points.
  • Each hour of B is awarded 3 grade points.
  • Each hour of C is awarded 2 grade points.
  • Each hour of D is awarded 1 grade point.
  • No grade points are awarded for grades of F or WF, but the credit hours are included in calculating the GPA.
  • Grades of P, W, and WP are not computed in the GPA.
  • Grades of I are not considered until the course is completed.
