Grade Point Average


  1. Multiply credit hours attempted by grade points* or quality points for course points.
  2. Add credit hours attempted for the total credit hours attempted.
  3. Add course points for total course points.
  4. Divide total course points by total credit hours attempted for GPA.

Example:

COURSE CREDIT HOURS COURSE GRADE GRADE POINTS COURSE CREDIT X
GRADE POINTS
COURSE POINTS
BIO 101 4 B B = 3 4 x 3 =  12
ENG 101 3 C C = 2 3 x 2 = 6
TOTAL CREDIT HOURS 7 TOTAL COURSE GRADE POINTS 18
 
COURSE GRADE POINTS (18) divided by CREDIT HOURS ATTEMPTED (7)   = 2.57 GPA

Repeated Grade Policy

If a student repeats a course, both grades will remain on the transcript. Only the highest grade obtained for the course will be used to calculate the grade point average. In determining satisfactory academic progress, the financial aid office must count all course work completed. A student may repeat a course but the repetitions will count toward the length of eligibility.
