Duquesne University GPA Calculator

Duquesne grades undergraduate coursework on a plus/minus standard-letter scale, except for courses offered strictly on a pass/no-pass basis as determined by the school, program, or academic department.

Duquesne's Quality Point Average (QPA) is the ratio, expressed to the nearest hundredth, of quality points earned to credits attempted for courses graded A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, or F.

Grades H, I, M, N, P, and W carry no quality points and are excluded from the QPA computation entirely. Courses graded F, N, I, or W earn no credit, and if the course is required for graduation it must be repeated and passed.

An Incomplete ("I") is a temporary grade granted at an instructor's discretion when coursework is unfinished; the student must have completed a majority of the coursework to qualify. An unresolved incomplete converts to a permanent F (or N in a pass/no-pass course) after the deadline published in the Academic Calendar, though an instructor may request an extension. Students may not graduate with an incomplete grade on the transcript. Incompletes tied to military service may be resolved within six months of the student's return from deployment.

A cumulative average of C (2.00 QPA) is the minimum general average required for undergraduate graduation.
