Common use of Grade Point Average Clause in Contracts

Grade Point Average. An undergraduate student’s grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned at The University of New Mexico by the total number of hours attempted. These hours must be attempted in courses with letter grades and the courses must be numbered 100 or above. Courses for undergraduate students given a grade of “CR”, “NC”, “PR” or “I” are excluded in the grade point average calculation. For graduate students, the Office of Graduate Studies, internally for their record keeping processes, calculates a grade of “I” as a 2.0 until replaced by another letter grade. Beginning in Fall 2006, the academic transcript reflects a level GPA. The courses a student takes become a part of the level to which the student has been admitted. If a student is in an associate degree program, the level will be associate degree, and all the courses taken in that level are reflected in the associate GPA. Courses that are not remedial or technical are also calculated into the undergraduate GPA. If the student is in a bachelor’s degree program, the courses taken in that status are calculated in the undergraduate GPA. The various levels are Associate, Undergraduate, Non-degree Undergraduate and Non-degree Graduate. Each level has a GPA.
