How
it works
Each letter grade is awarded points:
Grade
Points
A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 point
F = 0 point
Pass/Fail = 0 point
Multiply the grade points times the number of hours
the course is worth.
Then divide by the number of hours the course is
worth.
For example:
HIS 133 -- grade earned A.
A = 4 points
------ these are your Quality
Points
HIS 133 is a 3
hour course ------ these are your Quality
Hours
4 x 3
= 12
12 / 3
= 4.000 --- this total is your GPA
Repeat Policy
When a course is repeated the first time at SFA, the
higher of the two grades will be used to
calculate GPA.
IF an equivalent course is taken at another educational
institution, the grade from that school does NOT replace
the grade received from SFA. In order to receive replacement
of a SFA grade, the course MUST BE REPEATED AT SFA.
When a course is repeated for a third or more times
at SFA, ALL grades earned for that course are used to
calculate GPA. In addition, three-peats are subject
to extra fees.
ALL grades remain on SFA transcript, even when the course
is repeated and a higher grade is earned.
