How grading works at SUNY Erie
SUNY Erie calls its GPA the Quality Point Average (QPA), on a scale from 0 to 4.0. Grades run A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, and F — there is no A+.
Several marks appear on a transcript but carry no quality points and are not computed in your QPA: P (Pass), I (Incomplete), Z (Audit), W (Official Withdrawal), X (Unofficial Withdrawal), and several transfer/credit-award notations (CC, CU, HS, AP, LP, CL, AS, IN, CE).

How your QPA is calculated at SUNY Erie
Your QPA is calculated by dividing the total quality points you've earned by the number of semester (credit) hours attempted — each letter grade's quality-point value is multiplied by the course's credit hours, and those products are summed and divided by total credit hours attempted.
If you repeat a course, only your highest grade of all attempts counts toward your cumulative QPA. You may repeat a course at another college, but only the course taken at SUNY Erie itself can be used in computing your QPA. Your financial aid may limit how many times you can retake a course.

What happens to an Incomplete (I) grade if it's not finished?
An Incomplete must be finished within one year or it automatically converts to an F. While an I grade is outstanding on your transcript, you're not eligible to graduate, since a final GPA can't be calculated.

If I repeat a class at SUNY Erie, does it count twice in my QPA?
No. Only your highest grade on a repeated course counts toward your cumulative quality point average, and only coursework repeated at SUNY Erie itself (not another college) counts.
