How Grambling State Calculates GPA
Quality points earned for each course are determined by multiplying the number of quality points for the grade by the number of credit hours the course carries. A student's grade point average is computed by adding the total quality points for all courses for which quality point values may be computed, then dividing by the number of GPA hours (divisor).
The grade of "P" is awarded for nontraditional credit and non-credit courses only; courses so credited are not used in computing the grade point average.

Special Grade Notations
The grade of "I" (Incomplete) is given when a small part of a course's work remains undone due to illness or another unavoidable reason; it becomes "F" on the transcript if not changed by the deadline (within one academic year for graduate students).
The grade of "W" (Withdrawn) indicates withdrawal up to a specified date following mid-term, published in the university calendar; it cannot be changed by the instructor after that date.
"IP" (In Progress) is used for courses such as practica and internships not normally completed within one term; it must be changed to a regular grade within 60 days after the end of the semester in which it was awarded, and no credit is given until it converts.
"AU" (Audit) indicates the course was audited; no credit is allowed. "Z" is used for certain approved courses pending completion of work.
