GPA and academic performance
Each year at the end of May all students are assessed to verify their academic standing. In order to continue in their program students must obtain a minimum 2.0 assessment GPA. This assessment is always based on a minimum of 12 credits attempted; included are courses taken in summer, fall and winter term.
Keep track of your assessment GPA using this this simple calculation method:
The credit value of the course (3 or 6) multiplied by the grade point obtained for the course (see chart below). The sum is then divided by the total credits attempted = the result is your assessment GPA.
