Scholastic Index
The Scholastic Index is a student’s overall GPA. To compute the Index, the number of credits taken is multiplied by the corresponding Academic Requirements, Regulations and Policies Index value of the grade received:
Grade No. of Credits
A+ 4.0
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
D+ 1.3
D 1.0
D- 0.7
F and WU 0.0
The totals are added, and the sum is divided by the total number of credits taken, including courses failed. For example, the Scholastic Index of a student who has completed sixty-two (62) credits with the letter grades indicated below is calculated as follows:
Grade No. of Credits Index
A 4 x 3 = 12
B 3 x 3 = 9
C 2 x 3 = 6
D 1 x 3 = 3
F 0 x 3 = 0
Total: 15 30
In the example, the Scholastic Index is: 30 ÷ 15 = 2.00 GPA
The unresolved grade of “INC” is not computed in a Scholastic Index. Upon resolution, the final letter grades that replace them are counted in the Index. Final grades of “W” and “*WN” are not computed in a Scholastic Index. The effect on the Scholastic Index of a student’s repeating a course is noted below under the sub-heading “Repeating a Course.” The minimum cumulative GPA needed for graduation is 2.0.
