Calculating Your GPA
Only courses graded on an A-F basis count toward your GPA; courses graded P, R, S, U, I, W, or X, and credit earned by exam, are not included. A dropped course is not calculated at all, as if it had never been taken, and transfer work from another college is never part of your Reynolds GPA — credit may transfer, but the grade does not, so attending two colleges means having two separate GPAs.
Grade points are found by multiplying the point value of each course's letter grade by its credit hours to get quality points; dividing the total quality points by the total credit hours gives the GPA for a term, and doing the same across every term gives the cumulative GPA.
For a repeated course, students enrolled from Summer 1994 through Spring 2021 have only the last grade earned counted toward their curriculum and cumulative GPA; students enrolled from Summer 2021 onward instead have the highest grade earned counted.
