GPA Calculation Rules
Grades of AU (Audit), E, I (Incomplete), P (Pass), NG (No Grade), T, U (Unsatisfactory), S (Satisfactory), SP (Satisfactory Progress), and W (Withdrawal) do not carry quality points and are not calculated into the grade point average. FN and WF (failing variants) are graded at 0.0 quality points, the same as F.
The cumulative GPA is never rounded, only truncated to the tenths or hundredths.
A student may repeat a course to improve their GPA; the cumulative point average reflects only the highest grade earned, though all grades remain on the transcript and the credit counts toward degree requirements only once.
An undergraduate student may take no more than six courses Pass/Fail, and may not take an entire semester's courses as pass/fail. A grade of Pass requires work of at least D- quality and carries no quality points.

Academic Standing
Satisfactory Academic Standing means a student is meeting course grade and grade point average requirements, allowing full enrollment and participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
Residential campus programs issue an Academic Warning at mid-semester to any student failing two or more courses; first-year students who receive this notice must work with the Center for Academic Success and Achievement on a plan to complete the semester successfully.

Minimum Grade Standards
Minimum grade standards are stated for each program individually. Unless a program states otherwise, a grade of D- or higher fulfills the requirement.

Repeating a Course as a Transient Student
A student who obtains permission to repeat a course as a transient (non-Norwich) student must meet the Transfer Credit policy for the credit to count. The transient course's grade is not calculated into the student's grade point average, although the replaced credits still apply toward graduation credits.

Do Incomplete or Pass/Fail grades count toward my GPA?
No. Incomplete (I) grades are excluded from the computation of total credits and grade point averages. A Pass (P) grade earns course credit but carries no quality points, so it is not included in GPA computations.
