Grading, Grade Point Average, and Good Academic Standing

Grading

Grading for DNAP program students is based on a scale of 0 to 100.

The DNAP program requires a grade of 79.99 or above to pass all courses; any grade below 79.99 is considered unsatisfactory/fail.

90-100% = A = 4.0     Excellent

80 – 89.99 = B = 3.0  Satisfactory

<79.99% = F = 0.0     Unsatisfactory

GPA

Quality points for the DNAP will be awarded as follows:
90-100% = A = 4.0 quality points
80 – 89.99 = B = 3.0 quality points
<79.99% = F = 0.0 quality points
The GPA is calculated by dividing quality points by GPA credit hours (pass/fail coursework is already excluded). The GPA will be a one-digit number with two decimal places and will not be rounded.
 

Good Academic Standing

A student is considered in good academic standing if the cumulative grade point average is 3.0 and above. If cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, the dismissal process will be initiated.
