<p>Here is the official GPA policy (including info about courses taken at Bryn Mawr and Haverford) found on the Registrar’s webpage:</p>
<p>Grade Point Average (GPA)</p>
<p>Swarthmore College does not rank students in class, nor does it provide GPA outside the College. If you would like to calculate a GPA the way the College does for its graduation requirement (step by step instructions below), please use the following Swarthmore grade point equivalents:
A+ = 4.0
A = 4.0
A- = 3.67
B+ = 3.33
B = 3.0
B- = 2.67
C+ = 2.33
C = 2.0
C- = 1.67
D+ = 1.33
D = 1.0
D- = 0.67</p>
<p>The following grades are not included in the calculation of the grade average degree requirement: CR (credit), NC (no credit), NR (grade not reported by the instructor), INC (incomplete), IP (in progress), R (audit), W (Withdrawal), and * (ungraded credits earned for honors work prior to 1997). For 1997 and 1998 only: HHH=4.0, HH=3.83, H=3.5 (Senior Honors Study grades only).</p>
<p>Grades followed by an asterisk indicate that the letter grade was earned elsewhere. Numeric grades are used for inter-institutional courses done at Bryn Mawr or Haverford, whose letter point equivalencies are on a 4.0 scale. Grades for work done elsewhere are recorded on the Swarthmore transcript but are not included in the calculation of the grade average degree requirement.</p>
<p>Grades for excluded courses are recorded on the Swarthmore transcript but are not included in the calculation of the grade average degree requirement. Swarthmore normally excludes two kinds of courses: the earlier instance of a repeated course (except for the few courses which may be repeated for credit), and the first semester of the first year of language instruction if the second semester is not completed. Courses excluded from degree credit are indicated with an “E” in the “R” column on the transcript, or, on transcripts without an R column, their grades appear in parentheses, or circled.</p>
