Grading Policy

Grading Policy

At the end of each semester, students can access grade reports online at Morton College’s Web site (morton.edu). Only final grades are entered on a student’s academic record and used in computing the student’s GPA. Only 100-level courses and above are used to determine the GPA

Grade-Point Average (GPA)

GPA is used to determine eligibility for graduation, the Dean’s List, President’s List, Academic Honors List, scholastic awards, athletics and other purposes. The GPA is determined by multiplying the number of semester hours attempted for each course by the grade points earned and then dividing the total by the number of semester hours attempted (quality points divided by quality hours). Computation of the grade average excludes credits earned by proficiency, for which no grade is earned; grades of “P,” “U,” “V” and “N” and grades earned at other institutions.
