How the GPA Is Calculated
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted.
The way to improve a grade of F or NC is to repeat the course at Saint Mary's University.

Incomplete Grades
An instructor may give an Incomplete ("I") only when the student is passing the course and is prevented from completing the required work by an event beyond the student's control (e.g., hospitalization, death in the immediate family).
The work must be completed and the "I" replaced by a letter grade within four weeks after the start of the next regular semester, or the "I" is changed to an F. If the resulting GPA falls below the university's academic standards, academic warnings and penalties apply even though a new semester has already begun.

Do Online Bachelor's and Graduate programs use a different grading scale?
Yes. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota publishes two separate grading scales that are not covered by this calculator:
- Online Bachelor's Programs — a percentage-based scale (A = 95-100% of points down to F = below 60%), with additional grades WF, X, and IP not used in the undergraduate college scale.
- Graduate Programs — a separate, coarser percentage-based scale (A = 90-100% of points, B = 80-89%, C = 70-79%, NC = below 70%).
This calculator models the Undergraduate College Students scale only.
