A student must be officially registered in a course in order for a grade to be
issued. The University does not mail term grade reports. All grades are available
online via uconnect; all students have the
convenience and security to access their grades online and print them at their discretion.
Once grades are available, students are sent a notification to their J&W email
account. Students can view all term grades by viewing their academic transcript.
grade point average (GPA) A term GPA and a cumulative GPA are calculated for each term. GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade quality points earned (multiply quality points by number of quarter credit hours) by the total number of quarter credit hours attempted.
