Calculation of the Grade Point Average

Current and cumulative grade point averages are calculated on the basis of grades earned at Whitworth only. A student may transfer credits from another regionally accredited institution that count toward the total required for graduation, but the student cannot transfer the grades received in those courses. The grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the quality points total by the total number of graded credits attempted during any given grading period. Quality points for a course are determined by multiplying the numerical equivalent of the letter grade by the credit attempted. Pass/No Credit and Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory grades are not used in computing the GPA.
