| How
do I figure out my grade point average? |
Grade
point average (GPA) is a calculation of the total quality points earned
divided by the total quality hours. Quality hours are the number of hours
earned in courses taken for credit, and by multiplying these by the following
point values, quality points can be calculated. An "A" is worth 4 quality
points per credit hour, a "B" is 3 points per credit hour, a "C" is 2 points
per credit hour, and a "D" is 1 point per credit hour. All other marks
indicate no quality points earned. For example, if a "B" is earned in a
3 credit hour course, the person has earned 9 quality points. If a "C"
is earned in a different 3 credit hour course, the person has earned 6
quality points. By adding these quality points and dividing the total by
the total quality hours, 6, the student's GPA is calculated to be 2.500. |

| What
is a "VF"? |
A
"VF" is a Vanishing Failure, and is given to those students who fail to
drop a course through the Office of the Registrar, but stop attending the
course. This mark is equivalent to 0 quality points for the course, and
will be factored into the student's grade point average. |
