A student’s grade in any course determines the number of quality points he/she receives for that course. An A = 4 quality points, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. The quality points for a given course are determined by multiplying the points for the letter grade earned by the number of semester hours of that particular course. (Ex: earning a B in a 3- semester-hour course results in 9 quality points.) The GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points earned in a semester by the number of semester hours taken. GPA’s are calculated to three decimal places and are not rounded up or down.
