RULES FOR COMPUTING GRADE POINT AVERAGE

1. The grade point average is computed on the basis of all semester hours attempted for credit, except for credit hours carried under the Pass-Fail or audit options. Courses in which a grade of I, S, U, AUD, T, or W was earned are not considered in computing the GPA.



2. The grade points earned in any course carried with a passing grade (A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D) are computed by multiplying the number of semester hour credits assigned to the course by a factor determined by the grade.



3. For courses in which the grade of A was earned, the factor is 4; for B+, 3.5; for B, 3; for C+, 2.5; for C, 2; for D+, 1.5; for D, 1.



4. The grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of semester grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted for credit (except hours carried on a Pass-Fail or audit basis).



5. No grade points are assigned to the symbols I, F, S, U, WF, W, AUD, T, or NR.
