Grade Changes Due to Error Corrections of semester grades due to error must be requested within six weeks after the end of the semester in which the error was made. C. Quality Points and Grade Point Average (GPA) A student must earn at least an average of two quality points for each semester hour of work attempted to qualify for graduation. Points are computed on grades as follows: A - 4 quality points per semester hour B - 3 quality points per semester hour C - 2 quality points per semester hour D - 1 quality point per semester hour F - 0 quality points per semester hour Grades of I, IP, AU, W, WP, WF, and P do not incur quality points. If a student does not earn sufficient quality points in a course or fails the course, the student can repeat the course to improve the grade and quality points. At Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, the best grade earned in the same course is used to compute GPA. A transfer student\'s quality points will be computed on the grades of earned semester hours. Grade point averages are determined by totaling the quality points earned in all courses and dividing the sum by the total semester hours attempted. Example: A student earns a grade of "A" in English Composition I (3 semester hours) and a grade of B in General Biology I (4 semester hours) during a semester. The student\'s GPA will be calculated in the following manner - 3 semester hours X 4 quality points = 12 quality points for English Composition I. 57'
