Students sitting side by side in lecture.

In each course, a student earns grade points equal to the product of the course credits and the arithmetic value of the grade in that course. In turn, the student’s academic term grade point average (GPA) is derived by dividing the number of quality points accumulated in that academic term by the sum of credit hours for courses that carry quality points in that term. Incomplete, Passing, No Credit, Remediation, Withdrawal and Administrative Withdrawal hours are not included in the computation of grade point.

A student’s GPA is used as a measurement of satisfactory progress. Cumulative GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of all of the quality points earned in all academic terms by the sum of the credits carried with the latest quality grade in each course for courses that carry quality points.

Students have the right to repeat all courses. The last earned grade is substituted for the previously earned grade and a new GPA is computed.
