Scholastic averages are computed by multiplying the credit hours by the honor point equivalent. For example, a 4 credit course evaluated as "A" will be counted as 16 honor points (4 credits multiplied by 4.0 = 16). Grades of "I," "W," "P," "AU," and "L" are not computed in determining Honor Points, and have no impact on a student’s scholastic average.

A cumulative average of 2.0 (C) and an average of 2.0 (C) or better in one’s major, minor, and/or certificate concentration are required for graduation. Students are required to monitor their average in their major and minor. Should a student receive less than a "C" in a major course, the student must make an appointment with his or her advisor to discuss the suitability of the major. The Academic Standing Committee forwards the names of majors at risk to the academic departments.
