Academic Performance Measures

Student academic performance is recorded, reported and monitored by the Registrar on a quarterly basis using the following measurements:

Grade Point Computation

The grade point for an individual course is computed using the equivalent grade points shown above. The total grade points for the individual course are determined
by multiplying the letter grade point times the credit hours for the course.

Quarterly Grade Point Average

The quarterly grade point average (GPA)
is computed by dividing the total grade
points earned for all courses attempted in the quarter by the total credits attempted for that quarter.

Cumulative Grade Point Average

The cumulative grade point average
(CGPA) is computed by dividing the total
grade points earned for all courses
attempted at the Institute by the total
credits attempted. The resulting CGPA is
expressed as a whole number and a tenth,
i.e. 2.2, 3.8. The CGPA is used in all
evaluations of student academic progress
and standing.
