Policy on Grade Point Average
Term and cumulative grade-point averages (GPA) are included on Thomas Edison State University transcripts, which are based on graded credits attempted through Thomas Edison State University course work. Only grades that reflect attempted graded credits (A, A-, B+, B, C, F, IF, and ZF) are used to calculate the official Thomas Edison State University GPA and are recorded on the transcript. The only F, IF, and ZF grades that are printed on the transcript and included in the GPA calculation are those awarded for TESU courses that started on or after the July 2011 term. TESU courses with grades of W, CR, PR. and NP are recorded on the transcript, but will not be calculated into the GPA. CR represents a C or better at the undergraduate level and B or better at the graduate level.
TESU courses/exams with a grade of NC (no credit) are not recorded on the transcript and are not calculated into the GPA.
Thomas Edison State University restarts the GPA calculation based on academic level only and does not restart the calculation at graduation. As such, there is no direct correlation between the GPA and graduation, except that in order to graduate, all students must meet the GPA standards set by the University as well as any individual standards set by the academic school that offers the degree the graduate earns.
