Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of credits attempted, except credits marked AU, P, W, and I, and other credits awarded which do not carry quality points. Credits with the grade of F are used in the calculation.
The following charts indicate the meaning of the grades assigned and the number of quality points given per credit for each grade. Final grades are made available to students through Self Service.
