Grade Point Average

The College calculates both a term grade point average (GPA) and a cumulative GPA at the end of each term of enrollment. GPA is used to determine academic standing, eligibility to participate in certain programs, and academic honors. 

  • The Term Grade Point Average is determined by dividing the total number of Michigan Semester Hours (MSH) elected during a term into the total number of Michigan Honor Points (MHP) earned during the same term. 
  • The Cumulative Grade Point Average is determined by dividing the total number of Michigan Semester Hours (MSH) into the total number of Michigan Honor Points (MHP) earned
  • Grades of P, F, CR, NC, S, U, NR, I, Y, and VI are not used in computing GPA.
  • Grades associated with transfer credit are not used in computing.
    • The only exception to this rule is for courses elected on the Dearborn and Flint campuses. 

Minimum GPA:  It is required that a student earn a minimum cumulative 2.00 GPA and a minimum 2.00 GPA in the students major and minor departments for an undergraduate degree.
