Quality Points

The quality point is the unit used to measure student achievement in a course.  The number of quality points received for any course is equal to the number of points attached to the grade received multiplied by the number of quality hours yielded by the course. Quality points are computed as follows:

A = 4.00 quality points per credit hour

B = 3.00 quality points per credit hour

C = 2.00 quality points per credit hour

D = 1.00 quality points per credit

F = 0.00 quality points per credit hour

 

Students’ grade point averages (GPA) are computed by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of quality hours in that semester.
