Grade Point Average (GPA)

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credits attempted. Only the last grade in a repeated course is used in computing the GPA. Courses using "S" or "U" grades are not counted in computing the GPA. GPAs can be calculated by students using an online calculator at: back2college.com/gpa.htm.
