GPA: The quality point total is the sum of quality points multiplied by total credits. The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the quality point total by the number of courses assigned quality points. Marks of ‘W’, ‘I’, ‘R’ and ‘S’ are not assigned quality points and are not calculated in the GPA.
Important Note: In the absence of a more stringent policy at the school or »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ level the University Graduate Academic Policies apply. Should a graduate program not have a specific policy or should there be omissions or gaps in the policy for a specific graduate school program, the University Graduate Policy shall govern.
The Graduate Academic Policies are the responsibility of the Graduate Curriculum Committee Convener. For additions or revisions contact gradcurriculum@stthomas.edu.
