The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of credit hours attempted. In calculating GPA, the hours with P, W, I, and/or U will not be counted as hours attempted. Courses with grades of F will be counted in figuring the grade point averages. NC is not calculated into GPAs.
