*P/F: For courses taken under the pass/fail option.
Semester hours are counted as hours passed but not for computing
grade point average. Courses taken for pass/fail do not count
in the grade point average if passed; if failed, they are counted
as F.
Computing Grade Point Average
Grade point average (GPA) is figured by dividing the total
number of hours attempted per semester into the total number of
grade points earned that semester. For cumulative GPA, total
all of the grade points received for all semesters and divide that
sum by the total number of all academic hours taken. For ease
of calculation, use the customized GPA Calculator to determine your current or
anticipated GPA.
