Grade Point Average (GPA)
A student’s grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total credit hours attempted, excluding courses in which the grade “S” is recorded. For transfer students, credits earned include transfer credits; however, cumulative grade point average is computed only on courses attempted at Wilmington University.
Grades recorded with parentheses indicate prerequisite, post-graduate, and non-credit courses. These credit hours and the corresponding quality points are excluded in the GPA calculation. The grades of “F” and “FA” are used in computing the grade point average. Courses with grades of “F” and “FA” are counted in attempted credit hours and receive zero quality points.
