Policy statement
The grade point average (GPA) is calculated according to the following steps:
- Total all hours taken at Nebraska Wesleyan in courses where traditional grades are earned (A, B, C, D with +’s and -’s, F and F* but not W, WA, P, P*, PX, I, or AU),
- Add all grade points, and
- Divide the sum of grade points by the sum of hours graded.
A semester GPA is computed each semester in addition to the cumulative GPA.
Transfer credits and grade points are not computed in the Nebraska Wesleyan University GPA. Transfer credits are recorded as a unit and count toward the total number of hours earned.
