Grade Point Average

To be eligible for graduation, a student must receive a cumulative grade point average of C or 2.00, based on all coursework completed at Adrian College or programs of study approved by the College.  Coursework taken as a dual enrollment student at Adrian College is calculated into this grade point average.

To compute a student’s grade point average for a single semester, the academic quality points earned are divided by the number of semester hours attempted as if no repeats were taken. To compute the cumulative grade point average, the total academic quality points earned are divided by the total number of semester hours attempted.

In computing the grade point average, all semester hours attempted will be included for which a student has received the grades A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, and F. No attempted hours will be counted for grades of NC, NG, W or I unless the I is not made up within the time limit.

A student may improve the grade point average by repeating an Adrian College course in which the final grade was less than a C- and improving the grade.

A student receives 4.0 academic points per hour of course credit for a course in which a grade of A is earned, 3.7 points per credit hour for a grade of A-, 3.3 points for a B+, 3 points for a B, 2.7 points for a B-, 2.3 points for a C+, 2 points for a C, 1.7 points for a C-, 1.3 points for a D+, 1 point for a D, 0.7 for a D- and no points for grades of F, FA,I, NC, NG or W, XF.
