Grade Point Average (GPA)
The grade point average (GPA) for a semester is computed by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the number of credit hours for which quality points are earned during the semester. The cumulative GPA is based on all quality points earned and all credit hours for which quality points are earned at Maryville College. A course may be repeated once to replace a previous grade. A second course repeat may replace a grade only with permission of the Dean or Associate Dean of the College. Course grades earned in repeated attempts beyond these limits may not replace previously earned grades and the grade earned in each repeat is included in the GPA calculation. Courses completed satisfactorily at other institutions may count toward graduation requirements, but they are not counted in computing the GPA.
The three-credit entry for Fundamentals of Mathematics 105 does not count in the minimum needed for graduation and is not included in the graduation GPA. This course is treated as a three-credit hour equivalent only in the determination of full- or part-time status.
