Calculating GPA
1. First calculate the quality points
- Use the Grades Table (undergraduate | graduate) to find the number of quality points associated with a particular letter grade.
Example: Grade of B would be assigned a value of 3 quality points.
- Multiply the number of credits of the course by the number of quality points. This will give you the number of total quality points for the course.
Example: Grade of B with value of 3 quality points for a course that is a 3 credit course would give you a total of 9 quality points for the course.
2. Next calculate the Grade Point Average (GPA)
- Add the total number of quality points for all courses.
- Add the total number of credits for all courses.
- Divide the total quality points by the total credits to determine your GPA.
NOTE : Your online academic transcript will have the quality points.

The following system of grades, with their grade point equivalent in parenthesis,
is used in UNDERGRADUATE (DAY & EVENING) courses:
|
A
|
A; Outstanding (4.0) | A- (3.7) | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
B
|
B+ (3.3) | B; Good (3.0) | B- (2.7) |
|
C
|
C+ (2.3) | C; Fair (2.0) | C- (1.7) |
|
D

D+ (1.3) | D; Passing (1.0) | |
|
F

Failure; No grade points. No credit. Failure remains on record and as part of GPA even if course is repeated. | ||
|
FA
|
Failure, absence; This grade is assgined by the instructor when the student completed the course, but did not comply with the instructor's stated attendance policy and is equivalent to F. This grade can not be changed by an "administrative withdrawal." | ||
| P | Pass; No grade points. Credit. The grade P carries credit but is not included in the calculation of the grade point average. | ||
| NP | No Penalty; No grade points. No credit. The non-passing grade NP carries no credit and does no affect the calculation of the grade point average. | ||
| IP | In Progress; A temporary grade assigned to all students of a given course that extends meeting requirements beyond the grading period for a traditional semester. Other grades on the scale will be assigned by the appropriate faculty member at the conclusion of the given course. | ||
| I | Incomplete; A temporary grade which may be assigned when a student has permission of the instructor to complete requirements within a short time after the end of the course. (This grade is not used when a student’s work is qualitatively deficient.) The I grade must normally be resolved within four weeks of the last day of the final examination period for the semester in question. I grades may not appear on a final record. At the end of the stated period unresolved incomplete grades become Failures. Extensions may be granted only by the Dean of the appropriate college. | ||
| NA | Never Attended. This grade is assigned by the instructor when the student never attended or did not attend after the add/drop period and is equivalent to F. This grade may be changed by an administrative withdrawal only within 1 calendar year from when it is issued. | ||
| VF | Unofficial Withdrawal. This Grade is assigned by the instructor when the student stopped attending after the add/drop period and is equivalent to F. This grade may be changed by an administrative withdrawal only within 1 calendar year from when it is issued. | ||
| X | Audit; No grade points. No credit. | ||
| W | Withdrawal; The symbol for an approved withdrawal after the add/drop period. | ||
| NG | No grade; A grade indicating that no grade has been reported by the instructor. | ||
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total credits attempted (excluding grades of P, NP, IP, NG, I, X, and W) into the sum of the products of points and credits for all courses taken. Only courses taken at Saint Joseph’s after matriculation are included in this calculation, even if transfer credit has been given.
