GPA Hours and Quality Points
A GPA hour is defined as a credit which is used in calculating a student’s grade point average (GPA). All graded credits, except for those in which the Pass (P) or Incomplete (I) grade is received, qualify as GPA hours, unless otherwise noted. Quality points are assigned to each letter grade earned, as follows:
| A |
4.00 |
C+ |
2.33 |
F |
0.00 |
|
| A- |
3.67 |
C |
2.00 |
|
|
|
| B+ |
3.33 |

|
| B |

|
|
|
| B- |

Scholastic Marks, which do not qualify for GPA hours, are as follows:
| I |
Incomplete |
P |
Pass |
|
| T |
Temporary |
AU |
Audit |
|
| W |
Withdrawal |
NGR |
No Grade Reported |
|
| SP |
Satisfactory Progress |

A grade of I, plus a companion grade, has no GPA hours or earned hours, but indicates that the student has up to one calendar year to finish the work. A grade of W, plus a companion grade, carries no grade point value, but indicates that the student withdrew after 60 percent of the course had been completed.
Grade Point Average
When a student is graded, the quality points for the grade are multiplied by the GPA hours to derive the total quality points. The total quality points are then divided by the total GPA hours to determine the GPA. GPAs are truncated to the nearest hundredth of a grade point.
