Current and cumulative grade-point averages are calculated on the basis of grades earned at Whitworth University only. A student may transfer credits from another 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.
