Body
The minimum passing grade for a course is D-.
A total of 9 credit hours and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required to complete this certificate.
This is how the GPA is calculated:
The indication of a student’s academic performance, Grade Point Average (GPA), is calculated by changing each letter grade into its numerical equivalent and multiplying this number by the number of semester hours in the course. The grade points are then totaled and divided by the total semester hours.

The cumulative GPA is (17.30 / 5) or 3.46.
Note: Students have the opportunity to repeat any course to obtain a higher grade, whereupon only the higher grade is applied to their cumulative GPA.
