Grade Point Average This average is determined by dividing the total number of quality points by the number of credit hours attempted. Credit hours for all grades earned at Gwynedd-Mercy College are included in the calculation. Academic Progress Gwynedd-Mercy College is dedicated to the academic progress of every student. To be considered in “good academic standing” the following criteria must be met: • Students whose total credits (transferred and earned) are 30 or less or students who are attempting only 100-level concentration courses for an associate degree in nursing or allied health are considered freshmen and must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 1.80. • Students whose total credits (transferred and earned) are greater than 30 or students who are attempting only 200-level concentration courses for an associate degree in nursing or allied health must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Students should refer to individual School academic progress policies for any additional requirements. • The computation of the cumulative grade point average does not include challenge examinations, CLEP, life experience or transfer
