6. The Grade Point Requirements

Marietta College uses a 4.0 grading system where A = 4 quality points, B = 3, etc., with +/-, so, for example, B+ = 3.33 quality points. (The grade A+ can be awarded but earns only 4 quality points.) For details see Grading System in the Academic Policies and Practices section of the Catalog.

1. Overall - Each student must earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.000.
2. Major - Each student must earn at least a 2.000 grade point average in the chosen major(s). A higher GPA is required for Education Licensure Programs.
3. Secondary Concentration - Each student must earn at least a 2.000 grade point average in the secondary concentration (i.e., second major, minor, or certificate).
4. All grades of Incomplete must be resolved.

The grade point average for the major (and minor and/or certificate) will be calculated on the basis of all courses, and only those courses, that appear on the student’s official program evaluation with a letter grade. Policies regarding students making inadequate progress towards these goals are described under “Academic Warning, Probation, Dismissal” in the Academic Policies and Practices section of the Catalog.
