APPEAL OF GRADES
Students will not be allowed to appeal grades recorded on permanent records after
one year from the date the grade was recorded. Refer to the academic appeal section
for details describing this process.
GRADE POINTS
For convenience in averaging grades for various purposes, and in order to
encourage students to improve the quality of their work, grade points are assigned
each letter grade as follows:
Grade A — 4 grade points for each semester hour
Grade B — 3 grade points for each semester hour
Grade C — 2 grade points for each semester hour
Grade D — 1 grade point for each semester hour
Other grades — No grade point
The student’s average grade is computed by dividing the total number of semester
hour grade points, as calculated above, by the total number of semester hours for
which grades have been received. When a course has been repeated, the highest
grade of record will be utilized to determine GPA for graduation.
