How Bradley Calculates Your GPA
Grade point average is determined by dividing honor points by semester hours. Only work registered through Bradley University is used in the calculation of grade point averages.
Marks of IN (instructor lacks sufficient evidence to award a letter grade), IP (work in progress), I (permanent incomplete), P (pass), S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory), W (official withdrawal), X (satisfactory audit), and UX (unsatisfactory audit) are not considered in calculating the GPA.
For repeated courses, the last grade and credits earned are the only ones used in the calculation of grade point averages. Credit earned by proficiency examination is not used in the calculation of grade point averages.
