📌 Grades Excluded from GPA
The following marks carry no grade points and do not count in GPA hours: P (Passing, under Pass/Fail), S (Satisfactory), W (Course Withdrawn), X (Continuing Course), I (Incomplete), and NR (Not Reported).
An I (Incomplete) or X automatically converts to an F if requirements are not met within the allowed time. An NG (No Grade) is computed as an F when determining GPA.
