Grades and Grade Point Average
Grade Point Average
Course credits are multiplied by the equivalent of the letter grade to yield quality points. Total quality points for the semester or year are divided by the total credits for that semester or year to yield the grade point average (GPA).
Students have to achieve at least a 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and maintain at least a 2.0 in each professional course to fulfill degree requirements. The following is an example of how the GPA is determined:
GPA = 53 ÷ 16 = 3.31
Transferred credits, credits by examination, and credits by exemption are not calculated in the Labouré College of Healthcare GPA.
Grades
Grades are available to students through my.laboure.edu website accounts after being submitted by professors. Students questioning any grades should contact their professors immediately. If there appears to be a discrepancy between what the professor submitted and what appears through my.laboure.edu, the Office of the Registrar should be contacted immediately. The College will assume records are correct if students or faculty members do not report an error.
