Technical Grade Point Average (TGPA)

To graduate, students must complete all required courses for their degree and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. In addition, a minimum Technical GPA of 2.0 is required for the following programs:

The Technical Grade Point Average (TGPA) calculation for the Bachelor of Science and Associate of Science programs includes grades for courses from the following subject areas:

  • Astronomy and Astrophysics (AST)
  • Biology (BIO)
  • Chemical Engineering (CHE)
  • Chemistry (CHM)
  • Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)
  • Computer Science (CSC)
  • Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
  • Engineering (EGR)
  • Mathematics (MAT)
  • Mechanical Engineering (ME)
  • Physics (PHY)
  • Statistics (STAT)

The Technical Grade Point Average (TGPA) calculation for the Information Systems and Technology major includes grades for courses that fulfill major requirements.

Repeated Course Effect on GPA and TGPA

If a student repeats a course, both grades remain in the GPA calculation, while only the second grade remains in the TGPA calculation. In both cases, course credits can be earned only once. Transfer credit may not be used to replace a grade in the TGPA.
