Grade Point Average (GPA)
The University of Jamestown grade point average (GPA) is used to determine academic standing. The GPA is computed by dividing total grade points earned by the total number of semester credits attempted in which the student received a grade of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, or F. (Exceptions: If a course is repeated, only the higher grade is included in the GPA calculation; however, the lower grade remains on the transcript as well. Students in the DPT program receive a standard letter grade for each course [A, B, C, D, or F]) Grade points awarded per semester credit are the following:
| A |
4.00 |
| A- |
3.67

| B+ |

| B |
