Calculating Your QPA

The grade point average is calculated by dividing quality points by quality hours.

Quality points - A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, E = 0
        multiply by number of credits course is worth

Quality hours - includes all hours attempted at Clarion for grade
        (no transfer hours and no credit/no record)

Earned Hours - any hours earned with a grade of "D" or above
        (Including transfer hours and credit /no record)

Earned hours and quality hours are equal unless:
     
a student has "E"s against his record - "E"s are not added
         into earned hours - they are added to quality hours  because they
         must be used to figure QPA.
     
a student has transfer hours or credit/no record - these are
         included in earned hours - but are not included in quality hours
         because they do not figure into QPA.
