A student’s transferable G.P.A. is
considered by the Admissions Committee.
If a transferable course is repeated
due to a failing grade, all attempted hours and earned
grade points will be used to calculate the transferable G.P.A. For
repeated courses with grades of C- or above, only the first attempt will
be awarded credit.
A grade of “W” (withdrawn) will not be
used to calculate the transferable G.P.A.
A grade of “I” (Incomplete) will be
calculated as F. A grade of “IP” (In Progress) for a current term is not
calculated.
Students may apply for
Academic Forgiveness for coursework
completed 10 or more years prior to the entry term at SMU.
To calculate your transferable G.P.A.,
add the total number of transferable external hours attempted. Then add
the total number of grade points for those hours. Divide the number of
grade points by the total number of hours attempted.
