Quality Point Ratio

Graduate Students

The academic standing of each student is determined on the basis of the quality point ratio (also known as grade point average, or gpa) earned each term.  Each letter grade is assigned a quality point value.  The quality point values can be found under Grading Systems.

The quality point ratio is obtained by multiplying the quality point value of each grade by the number of credit hours assigned to each course as listed in the catalog, then dividing the sum of the quality points earned by the number of credit hours attempted in courses for which a grade of A+ through C- or F is awarded.  A cumulative quality point ratio is obtained by calculating the quality point ratio for all courses taken at the University of New Haven which are part of the degree program.
