Which grades count toward GPA
Only grades from Kennedy-King's Remedial, Credit, and Skills classes are used to calculate a student's cumulative GPA. These are the grades recorded on a student's permanent academic record and applied toward graduation.
Grades from Foundational Studies & Continuing Education classes (S/F) and Adult Education classes (P/R/F) carry no point value and are not factored into the GPA calculation — they record course-completion status for non-degree-seeking students instead.
