Grade-Point Average (GPA)
CSI calculates three types of grade-point average (GPA):
Semester GPA - Includes all coursework receiving a letter grade (including developmental coursework) taken during a specific semester. This GPA appears on the CSI transcript as “Term Totals.”
Cumulative GPA - Includes all coursework receiving a letter grade (including developmental coursework) a student has taken. This GPA appears on the CSI transcript as “Career Totals.” Cumulative GPA is used to calculate academic standing and to determine honors received at graduation.
Graduation GPA - Includes all college level coursework receiving a letter grade (excluding developmental coursework) a student has taken while at CSI and all college level transfer coursework accepted by CSI. This GPA appears on the degree audit report. The graduation GPA will be used to determine if a student meets the minimum 2.0 GPA required to graduate.
Note: Audited courses, Pass/Fail courses, and courses in which students receive an Incomplete are not used to calculate GPA.
Number of quality points = Number of credits * Number of quality points per credit.
