UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) In accordance with the Unsatisfactory Academic Progress Policy, a GPA

A will be calculated each study period (semester or trimester) for each program that a student is enrolled in. The GPA is the average of the grades obtained in all courses, weighted by the unit value of each course. Students enrolled in more than one program, you will have a GPA for each, calculated using the final grades of the courses associated with each program. GPAs will not apply to the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery, Bachelor of Dental Surgery, or Bachelor of Oral Health as all core courses in these programs are non-graded. Students who obtain a GPA of 2.8 or less in a study period, will be contacted by the University. Calculating your Term GPA 1.
