Quality points for a course equal the number of credit hours for that course multiplied by the quality-point equivalent of the final letter grade. Semester GPA is the total quality points earned that semester divided by the total credit hours attempted that semester; cumulative GPA divides the total quality points earned at the College by the total credit hours attempted at the College.
The grades I (Incomplete), T (Transfer Credit), W (Official Withdrawal), and X (Unofficial Withdrawal) are not counted in either GPA calculation. Other non-scored designations on the transcript include AW (Administrative Withdrawal), O (Audit), PC (Permission to Continue), S (Successful), and U (Unsuccessful) — none of these carry a quality-point value.
