Grading system at Baker College (undergraduate)
Baker College grades undergraduate coursework on a plus/minus letter scale from A to F — there is no A+. A plus or minus indicates the higher or lower end of a letter's marks range. Grade points run from 4.0 (A) down to 0.0 (F).
Some marks appear on a transcript but carry no grade points and are not counted in the GPA, including CR (Credit), I (Incomplete), NC (No Credit), PR (Progress), W (Withdrawal), and AU (Audit).

How your GPA is calculated at Baker College
The cumulative GPA is calculated by determining the quality points for each completed course (grade points multiplied by credit hours; for example, an A or 4.0 grade in a 3-semester-hour course yields 12 quality points). All quality points earned are divided by the total credit hours attempted for all semesters at Baker College.
You may repeat a course to improve your grade; when you do, the higher or highest of the grades earned is used in computing your GPA, though every attempt remains on your official transcript. Prior to a third attempt at the same course, approval from a Student Success Coach is required.

Does this calculator use Baker College's graduate or doctoral grading scale?
No. This calculator reflects Baker College's undergraduate percentage-to-letter scale (A = 93-100% down to F = 0-59%). Baker's Graduate scale runs from A = 95-100% down to F = 0-71%, with no D-range at all, and its Doctorate scale uses only three bands: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, F = 0-79%. All three levels share the same letter-to-grade-point conversion, from A = 4.0 down to F = 0.0.
