Grade Point System

The semester grade point average (GPA) is calculated by a three-step procedure: (1) multiply the grade points for each course by the number of credits for that course; (2) add the figures for each of these courses to arrive at a grade point total; (3) divide this grade point total by the total number of credits for which a grade was received. The cumulative GPA is calculated similarly, taking into account all courses taken in residence.
Grades for students in the undergraduate programs of the University are reported and valued as follows:

Grade Points
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0 Minimum Passing Performance
F 0.0 Failure; No Credit
I 0.0 Incomplete
CR/NC 0.0 Credit/No Credit
AU 0.0 Audit
W 0.0 Withdrawn
WP/WF 0.0 Withdrawn Passing/Withdrawn Failing

A cumulative GPA is carried for all students for all courses taken at Eastern Connecticut State University.
