Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)
Semester and cumulative GPA will be available via Campusmate when semester grades are released. Only cumulative GPA will be noted on the Transcript of Academic Record, etc.
-
Semester GPA:
It is calculated using only the grades of the present semester. It is not included on official transcripts and is reset every semester. -
[(Number of A+ credits × 4) + (Number of A credits × 3) + (Number of B credits × 2) + (Number of C credits × 1) + (Number of F credits × 0)]Registered credits for a given semester (excluding P/T)
-
Cumulative GPA:
It is calculated during the entire period of studies (from semester one (1) through the last semester) and is printed out on all official transcripts. -
[(Number of A+ credits × 4) + (Number of A credits × 3) + (Number of B credits × 2) + (Number of C credits × 1)]Total completed credits (excluding P/T)
Note: Credits from letter graded Optional Subjects will NOT be calculated in the semester and cumulative GPAs.
Students Receiving a Failing Grade
An “F” (Fail) grade shall be printed on the student grade report and calculated into the GPA for the semester in question, but will not appear in official transcripts or student grade reports issued in semesters thereafter. “F” grades will not be calculated into the cumulative GPA. Students have the opportunity to retake a failed subject; however, subjects that have received a passing grade cannot be re-registered.
