Which Grades Count Toward GPA
Only the letter grades A, B, C, D, and F carry grade points and count toward the GPA. An Incomplete ("I") grade must be paired with the grade the student would otherwise earn (for example IB, IC, ID, or IF); if it is not resolved by the end of the next term, that paired grade becomes final. Late Drop ("LD"), No Credit ("N"), Not Reported ("NR"), Withdrew ("W1"), Audit ("X"), Passed ("P"), Satisfactory ("S"), Unsatisfactory ("U"), and Showing Progress ("SP") carry no grade points and are not used in the GPA calculation.

Incomplete Grades in Nursing and Health Programs
Students in nursing and health programs who receive an Incomplete ("I") grade may not progress in the program until the course requirements are met and the grade is converted to passing. If the Incomplete converts to a non-passing grade, it counts toward the maximum of two non-successful attempts allowed, which can result in dismissal from the program.
