University Regulations
A student's progress within a program will be evaluated on the basis of the grade point average (GPA). For purposes of calculation, the grade point (GP) earned in a 0.5 credit will be given half the weight of that earned in a 1.0 credit. Likewise the GP earned in a 0.25 credit will be given a quarter of the weight of that earned in a 1.0 credit.
For example, a student with an A (11.0) in a 1.0 credit, a C- (2.0) in a 0.5 credit and a B+ (2.25) in a 0.25 credit will receive a GPA of 8.71. (15.25 grade points divided by 1.75 credits)
Letter grades, and their grade point equivalents are as follows:
Letter Grades | Grade Points |
A+ | 12 |
A | 11 |
A- | 10 |
B+ | 9 |
B | 8 |
B- | 7 |
C+ | 6 |
C | 5 |
C- | 4 |
D+ | 3 |
D | 2 |
D- | 1 |
F | 0 |
