GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by adding all grade points earned and dividing by the sum of all credits attempted in courses with letter grades of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, or “F.” Courses with grades of AU, I, NC, P, S, U, W and grades on transferred courses do not factor into the transcript GPA calculation.
