	Grades and Scholastic Standing
		Grade points are computed by multiplying the semester-hour value of the course by the point value of the grade received.
		An "I" grade is considered a mutual written agreement between the student and instructor, both agreeing that all of the requirements necessary for the completion of the course will be done at a date later than the last day of the semester in which the student has enrolled for the class.
		The grade of "R" in a developmental course does not automatically convert to any other grade and is not used in computing grade point averages or academic status.

	How to Calculate your GPA (Grade Point Average)
		Your cumulative grade point average is the average of your grades overall, i.e., of all the grades throughout your college career (though for transfer students, your cumulative GPA here is the aggregate of courses taken at Wells or Wells-affiliated programs).
		Your cumulative GPA is the one used to determine if you are in good academic standing, if you can graduate, if you are to be placed on probation, etc. When someone asks you what your grade point average is, they will almost always mean your cumulative grade point average.
		Grade point averages are computed for courses in which you earn grades A-F and U, and their plus and minus forms.

	Simulation of Plus/minus Grades
		The results of a typical simulation are shown in the graph, "Change in GPA under plus/minus system vs. Old GPA." This graph displays the change students can expect in their GPA from the switch from the current system to the new system.
		The GPAs under the new and old systems are presented in the graph of GPA vs.
		Displayed is the root mean square (RMS) difference between the grade points assigned by the instructor and the grade points the student should have received had the instructor been perfectly discerning of student performance.

	NC State Grade-Point Averages
		All grades are averaged in order to arrive at the quarterly and accumulative grade-point averages as stated on the grade report.
		In the example above, the student’s first quarter grade-point average is 2.76, second quarter grade-point average is 2.56, and cumulative grade-point average is 2.66.
		The grade-point average is determined by multiplying the credit hours for each course times the point value of the letter grade assigned to that course, totaling the resulting quality points, and dividing by the total number of credit hours.

	Grades and Grade-Point Average
		A student's grade-point average is the weighted mean value of all grade points he/she earned by enrollment, or through credit by examination, in a semester/session of attendance at Penn State.
		To calculate a grade point average, (1) determine the grade points earned in each course by multiplying course credits by the appropriate grade-point equivalent, (2) add the grade points earned in each course to calculate a semester total, and (3) divide this sum by the number of credits taken to determine the semester/session grade-point average.
		A student's cumulative grade-point average is the weighted mean value of all grade points he/she earned by enrollment in Penn State courses through any delivery system and at any campus or through credit by examination.

	GRADE POINT AVERAGES
		THE G. A cumulative grade point average is calculated as an indicator of overall academic performance and is used as a criterion for graduation requirements, for honours graduation or other academic distinctions, and for determining Academic Standing during study in a program:
		• the grade earned for a repeated course is substituted for the previous grade in calculating subsequent grade point averages even if the later grade is lower, but both attempts are recorded on the transcript.
		• the cumulative grade point average is calculated at the end of each academic term for which additional course grades have been recorded on the student’s transcript, and is calculated on all of the student’s formal Ryerson course grades in the program in which the student is registered.

		Courses graded on the P/NP or S/U basis and courses transferred from another institution (except those courses taken through the Consortium) may not be used in determining the UNCG grade point average.
		The second grade must be a "D-" or better; a second "F" or "WF" in the same course is not used in calculating the GPA.
		Transfer grades, and therefore quality points, do not transfer in, so earned transfer hours which repeat UNCG courses will not affect the hours earned (if the course was passed the first time) or your UNCG GPA.
