Grade Point Averages
The Office of the Registrar calculates three different GPAs for each student:
The semester GPA is determined from all courses taken at Stevens during a semester.
The graduating GPA is calculated from all courses taken at Stevens that are part of the degree requirement. If a course repeated, the new grade replaces the old grade for purposes of calculating the graduating GPA, even if the new grade is lower than previous grade(s). Please note that if a course that has been passed previously is retaken, and a grade of F or W is recorded for the retaken course, then the course is considered as having been passed and the previous grade will be used in calculating the graduating GPA. If a course is repeated outside of Stevens with a grade of C or better, then a grade of C is used to calculate the graduating GPA.
The ranking GPA is calculated from all courses that are part of the degree requirement. In this case, all repeated courses are included and repeated courses taken outside of Stevens are calculated as a “C.”
