The grade point average is computed by dividing points earned by the total credit hours attempted. In the preceding example, 48 divided by 20 equals 2.40 grade point average. All grades A through F, and Incompletes (treated as “F”), are counted in computing the grade point standing. Credit by transfer and credit by examination are not included in computing the grade point standing.
