Grade Points and Grade-Point Average

Grade points are assigned to letter grades as follows:

A - 4 points per credit hour
B - 3 points per credit hour
C - 2 points per credit hour
D - 1 point per credit hour
F - 0 points per credit hour
P, NP, W, WA, I, AUD - No grade points are given

A student's grade-point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of grade-points earned by the total credit hours attempted.

Course work completed on a pass/no credit basis is counted in credit hours towards graduation but not towards the credit hours used to compute the cumulative grade-point average.

Credit hours with grades of W, WA, I, P, NP, and AUD are not used in figuring cumulative grade-point averages. If students repeat a course, the second grade is recorded on the transcript and used in evaluating the cumulative grade-point average.
