Grade points for a course are computed by multiplying the number of semester hour credits per course by the quality points associated with the grade earned. The grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of net hours taken. For effects of course repetition on calculation of GPA, see Course Repetition in the Business, Education, or Psychology section. (Other institutions, however, may recalculate a student's grade point average and include all grades in that calculation.) All grades will appear on the student's Francis Marion University transcript.
