Official Grades and Calculation of GPA The GPA is calculated by multiplying the numerical value of a letter grade by the number of credits for the course, yielding the “quality points” for the course, and then taking the sum of the quality points and dividing by the sum of the credits attempted. This process is used both for semester and cumulative GPAs. The numerical values for the letter grades are: A 4; A- 3.667; B+ 3.333; B 3; B- 2.667; C+ 2.333; C 2; C- 1.667; D+ 1.333; D 1; F, WF 0. P, AP, TC , are not included in GPA calculation but are included in credits earned. X, W, I , are not included in GPA calculation and are not included in credits earned. I incomplete P passed in pass-fail courses only AP Advanced Placement TC transfer credit X exempted W reflects an official withdrawal from the course and is not included in GPA calculations. WF is a withdrawal from the course after the 10th week of the semester and is equivalent to an F in GPA calculations. Additional notations: “E” (Exclude) indicates a course that is no longer being counted in the cumulative GPA. “I” (Include) indicates a course that has been repeated, with the grade for the course, included in the cumulative GPA.

A student who has been academically disenrolled will be considered for readmission only after completing a “get well program” (successful completion of 12 transferrable credits with a grade of “C” of better). Official transcripts should be provided to Admissions for review. The College will generally not readmit a student after a second academic disenrollment.
