Quality Point Average (QPA) Rules
A student's Quality Point Average (QPA) is computed by multiplying each course's quality points by its semester hours, summing these products, and dividing by the total semester hours for courses graded A+ through F.
Courses graded Pass (P), Incomplete (I), Audit (N), Withdrawal (W), Satisfactory (S), or Unsatisfactory (U) are not counted in the QPA.
An Incomplete (I) not resolved within one semester automatically converts to an F for QPA purposes, at the instructor's discretion.
When a course is repeated, both grades remain on the transcript, but only the most recent grade is used in the QPA.

Good Academic Standing
Students are considered to be in good academic standing as long as they are permitted by their dean to remain in school, matriculated toward a degree.

Yes. Niagara University's Ontario (Bachelor of Professional Studies) program publishes the same quality-point scale as the main undergraduate catalog, from A+/A at 4.00 down to F at 0.00. The Ontario catalog additionally states that students must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA (undergraduate) or 3.0 GPA (graduate) to advance, and that an overall B average is required for graduation.
