Quality Point System
The grade point system is used to determine all cumulative GPAs. A student receives four grade points for each A earned; three points for each B; two points for each C; one point for each D; and zero points for each E or EV. Instructors may choose to assign plus or minus grades as well. No other letter grades carry grade-point value. The possible grades and corresponding grade points are as follows:
Letter Grade | Description |
---|---|
A | 4.0 |
A- | 3.67 |
B+ | 3.33 |
B | 3.0 |
B- | 2.67 |
C+ | 2.33 |
C | 2.0 |
C- | 1.67 |
D+ | 1.33 |
D | 1.0 |
E | 0.0 |
EV | 0.0 |
A student’s cumulative GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points awarded by the total number of semester hours attempted in which a grade carrying grade points is earned.
