Grade Point Average (GPA)
The GPA is computed by dividing the number of grade
points earned by the number of credits attempted. The
following grade symbols are not given grade points, and
work recorded with any of these symbols is not used in the
calculation of grade point averages: H, P, W, AU, NC, X,
and MG. I grades are not computed until additional work
is fulfilled and an appropriate letter grade assigned. The
grades and credits of all repeated courses are calculated
in the GPA. J grades are not computed until the required
work in the same or continuing course is completed; at
that time, the total credits for the course are computed in
the GPA on the basis of the last grading date.
