How GPA Is Calculated
Grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of semester hours for which a grade of A, B, C, D, or F was assigned.
When a course is repeated, only the last grade awarded is included in calculating the GPA for graduation.

Does this grading scale apply to Nursing, Aviation, and Allied Health courses?
Not exactly. The calculator above uses the college's standard A-F scale (90-100, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, below 60). Nursing and select Allied Health courses use a different scale for the C and D grades (C: 75-79, D: 60-74), and Aviation courses use a scale where D and F both carry 0.00 quality points (no credit). All three scales share the same A and B bands and the same 4.00-point ceiling.
