AP.2.3 Calculating the Grade Point Average

Quality Points/Grade Point Average

A student’s level of scholarship is determined by the following system of quality points per semester hour of credit:

Grade Quality Points
A 4.0
A- 3.67
B+ 3.33
B 3.0
B- 2.67
C+ 2.33
C 2.0
C- 1.67
D+ 1.33
D 1
F 0

Grade point averages are determined by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credit hours for which a student has been graded. For example, a grade of C in a three-credit-hour course is equivalent to six quality points.

The following grades do not yield quality points and are not added into the divisor in the GPA calculation:

Letter Grade Significance
S Satisfactory indicates meeting minimum criteria for passing the course
U Unsatisfactory indicates failure to meet minimum criteria for passing the course.
P Passed
NP Not passed
X Dropped course
W Withdrew from institution prior to end of week 10
WP Withdrew from institution after week 10, passing course at time of withdrawal
WF Withdrew from institution after week 10, failing course at time of withdrawal
I Incomplete
NR Not reported by faculty

The grade point average is computed each semester to determine GPA.  After the first semester, the cumulative GPA is computed by dividing the total number of quality points earned to date by the total number of credit hours completed to date. The GPA is computed only on credits earned at Morrisville. Transfer credit from other colleges is not included in the computation.
