Cumulative Grade Point Average

The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) reflects the total credit hours earned and determines scholastic standing of students. Programs of study, changes in programs of study, or student classification do not affect the CGPA. The CGPA is the grade point average calculated on all attempts of all credit courses taken at Athens Technical College. The cumulative grade point average does not include credits earned at other colleges, credits associated with learning support classes, credits earned through the credit-by-examination process, credits for which the college does not assign quality points, and courses otherwise excluded by college policy. Grades earned for learning support classes affect satisfactory academic progress for financial aid purposes (see Satisfactory Academic Progress in the Financial Aid section). The executive director of registration and records recalculates the CGPA at the end of each semester.
