Grade Point Average (GPA)

The formula for computing your GPA is as follows:

  1. Multiply the number of credits for each course completed by the grade points (from chart above) earned for that course. For example, if you earned a B- in a 3 credit course the result for that course is 3 x 2.7 = 8.1
  2. Repeat for all course completed with an A through F grade. Total the results.
  3. Divide the total by the total of credits received for courses with A through F grades. This is your GPA.
P (Pass) Grade

The “P” is a passing grade, signifying a grade of C- or higher. This grade can be used as an elective for certain degree
programs. Since it doesn’t accumulate grade-points, it won’t reflect a change in the cumulative Grade Point Average on a transcript.
I (Incomplete) Grade

You may receive a final report of “I,” or incomplete, if you have completed at least 3/4 of the course with a grade of “C” or better, but are unable to complete the class for good cause. You must arrange for the incomplete with your instructor and complete Fall courses by March 15 or Spring/Summer courses by October 15 . Failure to do so may result in an “F” or “W” grade.

W (Withdrawal) Grade

You may opt to drop a any course up to the 13th week of a semester. It is your responsibility to withdraw formally from a course. Instructors have the option of assigning a failing grade for unofficial withdrawals. The “W” is not used in computing your cumulative grade-point average; however, the "W" grade will appear on your permanent transcript.

Veterans who withdraw from classes after the official add/drop period may experience penalties, and may be required to repay part or all of the benefits received for that course. If you are a veteran contemplating changes in enrollment, you should get the advice of the Director of Student Financial Services.
AD (Audit) Grade
This indicates a course you have taken casually, not for credit and earning no grade.
NR (Not Ready) Grade
This is a temporary grade indicating that it has not yet been submitted by faculty.
