Grade Point Average

Calculation of GPA

The semester grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credit hours attempted in a semester. Courses with “NC” (not computed) are not calculated in the GPA.

Cumulative GPA

The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is an attempt to reflect the total credit instructional activity of the student. The CGPA is not affected by program of study, changes in program of study, or student classification. The cumulative grade point average is that grade point average calculated on all attempts of all credit courses taken at the institution. The cumulative grade point average is recalculated after each semester to include the current semester’s grade(s).

Graduation GPA

The graduation grade point average (GGPA) is calculated only on those courses required for graduation. When a course is taken more than once, the higher grade will be used in calculating the grade point average for graduation. A 2.0 grade point average is needed for graduation. Students must achieve a minimum course grade of “C” or above in all courses.
