The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is computed only for courses taken at West Coast University. The CGPA is determined by dividing the total grade points by the total semester credits completed at West Coast University.  Courses with the NURS prefix fall under the Nursing numerical grading scale.  The University does not offer remedial classes.  Audited (AU) courses award no credit and receive a grade of “AU”, which is not included in the CGPA or rate of progress calculation.
