APUS Grading System (Chart)
A student's cumulative GPA at APUS is determined solely by the courses they have taken at APUS towards their current degree. If a student changes their major, the previous APUS courses will roll over into the GPA for a student's new major. However, if a student graduates from a program, they would start over with a new GPA when they start on their next program. For example, grades towards a conferred Master's degree at APUS do not impact a student's subsequent GPA in their Doctoral program.
Doctoral Courses:
WP/WF grade designators are no longer used as of October 5, 2007.
