Graduate Grade Point Average
Grade Point Average
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) in all graduate course work attempted is considered satisfactory progress and is the minimum required for graduation in the following categories:
- All graduate course work
- All NSU graduate course work
- All 5000-only course work
- Degree program course work
- Professional education
- Specialization
No course in which a grade below a C was made will be counted toward degree requirements. The hours attempted in which a grade lower than C is received will be counted in calculating the grade point average with the grade of D and F assigned O grade point value. Grades and their values are as follows:
- A = 4 grade points each semester hour
- B = 3 grade points each semester hour
- C = 2 grade points each semester hour
- D = 0 grade points each semester hour
- F = 0 grade points each semester hour
- P = neutral
- S = neutral
- I = neutral
Graduate courses in which the grades of A, B, C, P, and S are earned and reported as earned hours in the cumulative grade information.
Graduate courses in which the grades of A, B, C, D, and F are earned and used as hours attempted in computing the student's grade point average.
Three hours of A are required to offset three hours of C. Nine hours of A are required to offset three hours of D or F . If a course is repeated, the second grade does not replace the first. Both grades are used in the grade point computation.
Grades earned in 4000 level course work applicable to the master's degree will be included in the cumulative grade average only upon graduation.
