Grade Point Average (GPA)
A grade point average is the average number of grade points earned per semester hour attempted. GPA is calculated by determining the total number of grade points earned and dividing by the total number of semester hours attempted. In a cumulative GPA calculation, if a course is repeated, then (1) only the highest grade earned is included in the total grade points earned, and (2) the semester hours are counted only once in the total semester hours attempted.
Credit-by-exam (departmental and/or CLEP) and cooperative education credit are not calculated into the GPA. Transfer credit is not included in the GPA calculation, except for purposes of granting convocation and graduation honors. Courses in which a "PR," "I," and/or "X" are received are not considered in computing the GPA.
