Computing Grade Point Averages

a. Overall grade-point averages for all students are computed at the end of each semester.   [NOTE: as is true at many similar institutions, Davidson does not publish class rank.]
 
b. To compute overall grade-point averages, the number of grade points is divided by the number of graded courses taken, including repeated courses. 
      
c. Grades of I, LA, WA, UG, and P/F1 do not affect a student's grade-point average. 

Repeated Courses
When a course is repeated, the student loses course credit from the first attempt, but both grades remain on the record and both are used in the GPA except, as noted in regulations regarding the major,  in computing the major GPA.
