Calculation of Grade Point Average

Grades A, B, C, D, and F and the associated semester credit hours will be used to calculate grade point averages. The designations I, IP, Q, W, P, CR, NC, and AU and the associated semester credit hours will not be used. Grades from MATH 0303 and ENGL 1200 (developmental education courses), which do not earn credit hours applicable toward the Core Curriculum or any degree plan, will not be used in calculations for the grade point average.

If a student repeats a course and requests grade forgiveness, only the last grade earned and the last semester credit hours attempted are used to compute the grade point average. If grade forgiveness is not requested, then both grades will be calculated and used to compute the grade point average (See Repeating Courses and Grade Forgiveness Policy). If the student receives a Q, W or I in the repeated course, then the previous grade continues to be used to compute the grade point average.

Hours and grade points earned at other institutions are not used in computing the grade point average.

Grade point averages are truncated at two decimal places, without rounding.
