Grade Point Average (GPA)
A student’s grade point average for admission, academic standing, and graduation is based on the quality points assigned to each letter grade. Non-letter grade designations (AU, DG, etc.) do not earn quality points and do not affect the grade point average. AdventHealth University uses the following GPA designations:
Trimester GPA
GPA for each term
AS/BS Degree GPA
AdventHealth University courses that meet specific degree requirements
AdventHealth University Residency GPA
All courses taken at AdventHealth University
CUM GPA
Includes only coursework at AdventHealth University and does not include transfer credits
Admission GPA
May include credits earned both at AdventHealth University and at previously attended institutions (used for University and/or program admission).
Pass/No Pass Grade Designation
The Pass (P) grade receives academic credit but no quality points, while a No Pass (NP) grade receives neither credit nor quality points. The P or NP notation does not affect a student’s grade point average. For courses that receive a P or NP as a final grade, a P is designated as equivalent to a minimum grade of “C.”
