Quality Point System
In addition to meeting course and semester hour requirements for graduation, students must maintain a specified academic level throughout a given curriculum as measured by quality points. The minimum number of quality points required for graduation is twice the number of semester hours of credit attempted. Pass/fail courses are not used in the computation of the quality point average. Work completed at other colleges and accepted as transfer credit is not considered in computing the quality point average. The required quality point average for graduation is 2.000 or higher. Some degree programs require a higher cumulative quality point average.
Each semester hour grade is calculated as follows:
A |
4.0 quality points |
A- |
3.667 quality points |
B+ |
3.333 quality points |
B |
3.0 quality points |
B- |
2.667 quality points |
C+ |
2.333 quality points |
C |
2.0 quality points |
C- |
1.667 quality points |
D |
1.0 quality points |
E |
