Grade Point Average
The cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total hours of credit hours with grade points. Credit hours for courses with a grade of “F” are added into the total number of credit hours for calculation of the GPA. All grades carrying grade points are used in calculation of the GPA. In the case of repeated courses, the higher grade is used to calculate the GPA. Imputed Credit Courses are not used in calculating semester or cumulative GPAs.
