Faculty regulations concerning the abbreviations “Abs.” for absent and “Inc.” for incomplete can be found on the Undergraduate Academics website. Stevens uses the Quality Points System to determine grade point averages (GPA). This means an “A” in a three semester-hour course is worth three times more than an “A” in a one semester-hour course. To determine the number of quality points for any course, the semester hours are multiplied by the value of the letter grade received for the course. To determine the weighted average, the sum of quality points is divided by the sum of quality hours.
