Grading System

The quality of student work is measured by the following scale, with grades and grade points used to determine grade point averages (GPA). The GPA is calculated by (1) multiplying the number of credits for each course by the grade quality points associated with the grade earned, (2) totaling the points earned for all courses, and (3) dividing the total points by the total number of graded credits attempted as defined by the institution.

The following scale is used to compute grades included in student GPAs:

Grade Meaning Quality Points Per Grade Percentage
A Superior 4.0 94-100
A- 3.7 90-93
B+ 3.3 87-89
B Above Average 3.0 83-86
B- 2.7 80-82
C+ 2.3 77-79
C Good, Average 2.0 73-76
C- 1.7 70-72
D+ 1.3 67-69
D Below Average 1.0 60-66
F Failing 0.00 0-59
WF Withdraw Failing 0.00
