West Kentucky Community and Technical College is a proud member of the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS)

 

A student must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00 in order to graduate from WKCTC. To compute the grade-point average for a semester, the student should do the following:

  • Determine the numerical equivalent for the letter grade of each course (A equals 4, B equals 3, C equals 2,
    D equals 1, E equals 0).
  • Multiply the numerical grade for each course by the semester hours for each course (grade 4 points “A” x semester hours of course 3=12 quality pts).
  • Add the number of quality points for all classes.
  • Divide the total quality points for all classes by the total number of semester hours in which the student enrolled including classes failed. Letter grades for courses numbered less than 100 and MA 108R are not calculated in the GPA.
    In computing grade-point averages, the student should remember that the grades “W”, “P” and “F” carry no weight. More detailed information concerning grades and credits is in the Kentucky Community & Technical College System Catalog or at www.kctcs.edu.
