What are quality points?
Quality points are points awarded for each course graded A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F, or WF. The chart below shows the number of quality points assigned to each grade.
 

What are GPA hours?

GPA h ours are semester hours attempted for courses which receive a grade of “A” through “F”. Courses graded “P/F” or “S/U” do not earn quality points and are not used to calculate your GPA.

What if I’m repeating a course?

When a course is repeated, the initial grade can be excluded from computation in the student’s GPA for a maximum of four (4) different courses. The student must file a repeat form in the Registrar’s Office to indicate which courses are to be excluded from GPA computation.  This must be done by the last day of the exam period of the term when the course is repeated.  When calculating your cumulative GPA, subtract quality points and GPA hours initially earned in courses for which you are filing a repeat form before dividing total quality points by total quality hours.

How do I calculate my College of Business GPA?

To calculate your College of Business GPA, get the quality points and GPA hours for all courses that begin with ACC, BUS, CIS, ECO, FIN, FIR, HCM, HOS, LAW, MGT, MKT, POM and SCM. Use the GPA formula to determine your College of Business GPA. If you have taken a course more than once, use only the QPs and QHs from the last time the course was taken. To graduate from ASU with a business major, you must have a minimum 2.0 COB GPA.

University minimum standards
To remain in good standing, a student must have the following cumulative grade point average as follows:

After 0-15 attempted hours: 1.75
After 16-30 attempted hours: 1.90
After 31-45 attempted hours (and thereafter): 2.00

How do I calculate my major GPA?

If you want to include your major GPA on your resume, we recommend that you do this in one of two ways. You can use your College of Business GPA as your major GPA (include all business courses taken) or you can use only the required courses and required electives in your major (do not include COB electives or courses in the COB core).

For example, a marketing major would use the 15 semester hours of required marketing courses and the 3 semester  hours of marketing electives. A marketing major would not include MKT 3050 from the COB core or any COB electives even if they are Marketing courses. Again, once you have the total quality points and GPA hours for all courses that will be included, use the GPA formula to determine your major GPA. If you have taken a course more than once, use only the quality points and GPA hours from the last time the course was taken.

NOTE: In order to graduate, marketing majors must have a 2.0 GPA in the eighteen (18) hours of marketing courses in the major (fifteen semester hours of required marketing courses and three semester hours of marketing electives); accounting majors must have a 2.0 GPA in the twenty-seven (27) hours of accounting courses in the major (twenty-one hours of required accounting courses and six hours of accounting electives); computer information systems majors under must have a 2.5 GPA in the twenty-four (24) hours of required and elective CIS course for the major (not including CIS 3050) and International Business majors must have a 2.0 GPA in the fifteen (15) hours of foreign language courses required for the major/concentration.
