The grade point average (GPA) listed at the end of each semester is for that semester only. The
cumulative grade point average is shown only when a degree has been granted.
The cumulative
grade point average does not include the course with grades other than A through F. The graduate
cumulative grade
point average includes only graduate-level courses.
To calculate the cumulative grade point average, divide the sum of the quality points by the sum of
semesters hours:
GPA = Total Quality Points divided by Hours Attempted
Quality Points = Grade Point Value multiplied by Course Credit Value
