The grade-point average (GPA) is based on grade points earned at Newberry College and credit hours attempted [excluding courses with grades of “Withdrawal” (W), “Pass” (P), “Administrative Withdrawal" (AW), "Satisfactory” (S), “Incomplete” (I), “Unsatisfactory” (U), “No Credit” (NC), and “No Grade Reported” (NR), and excluding courses that may not be applied to the baccalaureate degree]. Grades transferred from other institutions will not be used to compute the GPA.
For each credit hour attempted, grade points are awarded for the grades earned as follows:
| Grade | Grade Point | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | Excellent |
| B+ | 3.5 | Very good |
| B | 3.0 | Good |
| C+ | 2.5 | Above average |
| C | 2.0 | Average |
| D+ | 1.5 | Below average |
| D | 1.0 | Passing |
| F or U | 0.0 | Failing |
| P or S | 0.0 | Passing with the equivalent of a “C” grade or better |
| AW | 0.0 | Administrative Withdrawal |
| W | 0.0 | Withdrawal |
| I | 0.0 | Incomplete |
| NC | 0.0 | No Credit Awarded |
| NR | 0.0 | No Grade Reported by Instructor |
The grade of Incomplete (I) is to be given to a student only in extenuating circumstances. Students receiving an Incomplete have until the final day of the following subterm to complete and fulfill the unmet requirements and replace the I with the letter grade earned; failure to do so will result in the I converting to an F. The grade-point average will be adjusted to include the grade awarded.
