Undergraduate Grading System
Albertus Magnus College evaluates undergraduate academic performance using letter grades and quality points. Grade points are calculated by multiplying the quality-point value assigned to a grade by the number of credits earned in the course. The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total quality points earned by the total GPA credits attempted at Albertus Magnus College.
