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:

Grading

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.
