Academic Standing is related to a student's Grade Point Average (GPA). GPA ranges from 0.0 to 4.0 and is calculated by dividing total quality points by hours attempted. Quality points are as follows: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F & W/F=0. W does not receive quality points and does not affect your student’s GPA. F also does not receive quality points, but it does affect your student’s GPA. For example:
Below is an example of a student’s grades and quality points with instructions on how to calculate grade point average.
