# Calculation of GPA

In calculating the GPA, all credits with the following grades are counted in the total used to compute the grade point average/cumulative index: A (-), B (+/-), C (+/-), and F.

| Grade | Quality Point Value |
| :---: | :-----------------: |
|   A   |         4.00        |
|   A-  |         3.70        |
|   B+  |         3.30        |
|   B   |         3.00        |
|   B-  |         2.70        |
|   C+  |         2.30        |
|   C   |         2.00        |
|   C-  |         1.70        |
|   F   |         0.00        |

Earned credits with grades of Pass (P), Satisfactory Progress (SP), or Satisfactorily Completed (SC) do not figure into the computation of the grade point average but do count toward the degree. Transfer credits also count toward the degree, but are not included in the GPA calculation.
