Calculating Your Grade Point Average
Each semester, the registrar calculates your GPA, both for that individual semester and cumulatively, for all the semesters you have been enrolled at Bryn Mawr. The following rules are in effect:
• Grades behind CR/NC are not included.
• Term-time grades from Haverford College, Swarthmore College, and the University of Pennsylvania are included.
• Term-time grades transferred from other institutions are not included.
• Summer school grades from Bryn Mawr courses are included, both courses on the Bryn Mawr campus and courses taken at Institut d'études françaises d'Avignon and the Italian Summer Studies program in Pisa.
• Summer school grades from other institutions are not included.
• GPA is calculated to three decimal points.
Please note that for determining eligibility for the two highest graduation honors ( magna cum laude and summa cum laude ), grades behind CR/NC are included.
