To determine a student’s grade point average (GPA) the College uses this scale:
| Letter Grade |
Quality Points |
| A+ | = 4.000 |
| A | = 4.000 |
| A- | = 3.700 |
| B+ | = 3.300 |
| B | = 3.000 |
| B- | = 2.700 |
| C+ | = 2.300 |
| C | = 2.000 |
| C- | = 1.700 |
| D+ | = 1.300 |
| D | = 1.000 |
| D- | = 0.700 |
| F | = 0.000 |
Note: I, NC, P, and W grades are not calculated in grade point average.
Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)
Example: a student enrolled in 16 credits with one “A-,” two “B grades,” one “C+,” and one “D+” would have the following grade point average:
| A- | 3 credit course x 3.700 quality points | = | 11.100 |
| B | 3 credit course x 3.000 quality points | = | 9.000 |
| B | 4 credit course x 3.000 quality points | = | 12.000 |
| C+ | 3 credit course x 2.300 quality points | = | 6.900 |
| D+ | 3 credit course x 1.300 quality points | = | 3.900 |
| = 16 total GPA credits | 42.900 Quality points |
| Quality points / GPA credits (42.900/16.00 = 2.680) |
2.860 GPA |
