How Boise State Calculates GPA

Boise State calculates and documents three GPAs: Cumulative GPA (Boise State coursework in the student's current career, plus transferred courses graded A, B, C, D, or F), Term GPA (quality points earned and credits attempted that semester), and Boise State University GPA (quality points and credits attempted at Boise State in the student's current career). Each is calculated as total quality points earned divided by total credits attempted, and results are rounded to the third decimal place.

Grades of Pass (P), Withdrew (W), Complete Withdrawal (CW), Incomplete (I), Audited (AUD), Unsatisfactory Audit (UAU), and No Report on record (NR) carry no quality points and are excluded from GPA calculation.

For repeated courses, Boise State has used grade replacement (before fall 1995), grade averaging (fall 1995 through summer 2001), and grade replacement again (fall 2001 onward, currently in effect) — only the most recent grade counts toward the cumulative GPA.

Excluded Grades Still Count Toward Honors

Grades excluded from GPA calculation (P, W, CW, I, AUD, UAU, NR) are not used toward the cumulative or Boise State University GPA. However, per University Policy 3160 (Grade Exclusion), those grades are still used in the determination of graduation honors.

Transfer Course Grades

Courses transferred from other post-secondary institutions with a grade of A, B, C, D, or F are used in the Boise State GPA calculation. Boise State honors the grade policy of the institution from which the student transferred courses.
