Grades not calculated in the grade point average are:

EX        Exempt; no credit
TR        Transfer; credit counted
W        Withdrawal
N         No grade
P         Pass; credit counted
AW        Administrative Withdrawal

The student’s GPA is calculated in the following manner:

The numerical value of each letter grade earned is multiplied by the number of credit hours course is worth. This yields a figure known as “quality points.” The sum of the student’s quality points is divided by the total number of credit hours. The final figure is the GPA.
