Grade Point Average (GPA)
The grade point average (GPA) at SAU Tech is calculated as outlined below:
1. To determine the grade points earned in each course, multiply the number of quality points for the assigned letter grade by the number of credit hours for the course.
A= 4 quality points
B= 3 quality points
C= 2 quality points
D= 1 quality point
F= 0 quality points
I, W,andAUare not considered in determining GPA.
2. Add these grade points to arrive at the total grade points earned during a semester.
3. Divide this grade point total by the total number of credit hours pursued that semester. The cumulative grade point average is calculated the same way as the GPA for each term except that all of the student's course work (excluding developmental) is taken into account.
