Grade Point Average
Grade Point Average
Grade points are used in calculating the grade point averages (GPA) required for admission, graduation, and other scholastic requirements. Grade Point Averages are calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of attempted credit hours. Grade points are based on A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F/WF=0. Grades of “W,” “I,” “P,” “DP” or “T” have no grade points and are not used in GPA calculation. When a course is repeated, the grade point average will be calculated using the most recent grade achieved.
For courses taken at another institution and repeated at the other institution prior to enrolling at Texas Wesleyan University, the last grade awarded for the course will be shown on the Wesleyan transcript.
- Term GPA: This is the GPA calculated for coursework taken within one semester (ie: Fall, Spring, Summer)
- Cumulative GPA: This is the overall GPA calculated across a student's education and may include college/university level coursework transferred from regionally accredited institutions, not to include remedial or non-college level coursework.
GPA's appear on unofficial and official transcripts, as well as degree audits and advising reports.
Major Grade Point Average
The calculation of a student’s major GPA is based only on those courses that are specific to the major and are required beyond the General Education Curriculum. These courses are listed under the degree requirements for each major and are labeled “Major Requirements.”
