with academic penalty. The grade is calculated as an F in determining the grade point average. The grade Y is given when a student unofficially withdraws from a course (usually stops attending class). It is reflected in the grade point average (GPA) as an F. If a course is repeated, the grades in both courses will be included in the cumulative GPA calculation. However, earned credit hours will reflect the credits for one course only. Both courses will be listed on the transcript in the actual semester taken. Grade distributions are determined by individual faculty members. In addition to passing all required courses, a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 and a technical grade point average (TGPA) of at least 2.0 are necessary for graduation. Grades for all courses taken at Villanova University (except S/U grades and WXs) are calculated in the GPA. If a course is repeated, both grades are included in the computation. If a transfer course is accepted to fulfill a requirement for a failed Villanova University course, the failed Villanova course is still included in the GPA computation. The grade point average is determined by taking the number of credits for each course times the quality points earned, and dividing the total quality points by the total credit hours attempted. GPA GPA = Quality Point / Total Attempted Credits Course Grade Credits Quality Points Course #1 A 3 12.00 Course #2 B 3 9.00 Course #3 B- 3 8.01 Course #4 C+ 3 6.99 Course #5 F 3 0.00 Total Earned Credits: 12 Total Attempted Credits: 15 Quality Points: 36 GPA = 36 / 15 = 2.4
