Grade Point Average
The University operates on a 4.00 grade point system. Under "Grading" in this section of the catalog, the "Standard Grading" table contains the grade point value of individual grades.
To compute a grade point average, first remove all basic skills courses (course numbers 001-099) and all courses that carry the grades: S, U, W, UW, NR, I, NC, and grades with a period or asterisk(s). Multiply the credit hours for each remaining course by the grade point value of the grade. Total the credit hours and grade points. Divide the grade points by the credit hours. Grade point averages are calculated to 3 decimal points and displayed as two decimal points rounded on academic transcripts and degree evaluations.
If a course is repeated, all graded earned are used in determining the GPA. Grade received at other institutions are not included in the UNC GPA.
