Grades Matter
In order to graduate from 快活林性息, you will need to earn at least a "C" average in certain areas. A "C" average on a 4-point scale translates into a 2.0 average. If you do not meet these grade point minimums you may not be eligible to graduate, even if you have completed all other requirements of the degree. The areas you must earn a 鈥淐鈥� average in are the following:
- 快活林性息 GPA (all units attempted at 快活林性息)
- Cumulative GPA (all units attempted at 快活林性息 plus all units transferred in)
- Upper Division Major GPA (all upper division courses used to complete the major)
- Upper Division Minor GPA (all upper division courses used to complete the minor) (if applicable)
When your cumulative or 快活林性息 grade point average drops below 2.0 you will be placed on Academic Notice. You will stay on Academic Notice as long as your grade point average is below 2.0 or until you are Disqualified. Academic Notice serves as an academic warning that you have a serious problem beginning to develop in your studies. As long as you are on Academic Notice, you will be limited to no more than 13 units of enrollment per semester.
Disqualification is academic dismissal from the university and this dismissal may be permanent. Undergraduate students on Academic Notice will be disqualified when:
- Freshman (0 鈥� 29 units earned) 快活林性息 or Cum GPA falls below 1.50
- Sophomore (30 鈥� 59 units earned) 快活林性息 or Cum GPA falls below 1.70
- Junior (60 鈥� 89 units earned) 快活林性息 or Cum GPA falls below 1.85
- Senior (90 or more units earned) 快活林性息 or Cum GPA falls below 1.95
Grades, Grade Points and GPA
For every letter grade you earn, there are a corresponding number of grade points that are added into your totals. The following chart can be used to determine the number of grade points awarded for each letter grade.聽
| Units | Letter Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 4 |
| 1 | A- | 3.7 |
| 1 | B+ | 3.3 |
| 1 | B | 3 |
| 1 | B- | 2.7 |
| 1 | C+ | 2.3 |
| 1 | C | 2 |
| 1 | C- | 1.7 |
| 1 | D+ | 1.3 |
| 1 | D | 1 |
| 1 | D- | 0.7 |
| 1 | F/U | 0 |
For courses that are worth more than 1 unit, multiply the number of units awarded for the course by the number of grade points from above. Your GPA is calculated by dividing the total number grade points earned by the total number of units attempted (all courses in which you received a letter grade (A 鈥� F). GPA = grade points divided by units attempted.聽
Calculating New GPA
To calculate how a particular course will change the GPA: start with the number of grade points you have already earned (Gpts). Then add to this the number of grade points you expect to earn for the new course (new Gpts). Add the new units attempted (new UA) to the units you have already attempted (UA) and then do the division.New GPA = Gpts + new Gpts divided by UA + new UA
