Grade Point Average (GPA)

The GPA is a numerical indication of the student's performance in all courses in which quality points can be earned. The GPA is calculated by dividing the number of quality points earned by the number of quality hours earned. The term and cumulative GPA calculated to three decimal places. Under extenuating circumstances, a student may petition the Academic Status Committee to exclude hours of coursework from the cumulative GPA calculation. Courses excluded from the cumulative GPA calculation as a result of a petition will not be counted as earned and cannot be used to satisfy program requirements for degree-declared students.

Dean's List

To be named on the College's Dean's List for a term, you must have accumulated 12 or more quality credit hours, had a term grade point average of at least 3.50 in the term involved, with no "D" or "F" grades, and been enrolled in at least six credit hours in the term in a degree-seeking status. Classes, which are not included in a degree program inventory, are not considered in determining Dean's List eligibility.
