Grade Point Average (GPA)
A student’s GPA is an index of scholastic performance and is computed on the ratio of quality points earned to semester hours attempted. Courses with grades of I, MG, P, W, WA, AU are not used in the calculation of the GPA. A student’s GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of earned quality points by the sum of attempted hours for all courses receiving a grade used in calculating the GPA (see below). Only course work taken while enrolled at the College is used in the GPA.
