What are quality points?

Updated October 12, 2022

Quality points are used to calculate your grade point average (GPA). Quality points are earned?on a descending scale where 4 quality points are awarded for an “A” grade and zero quality points are awarded for an “F” grade.

Grade

  • A = 4 Quality points
  • B = 3 Quality points
  • C = 2 Quality points
  • D = 1 Quality point
  • F = 0 Quality points

Only letter grades (A – F) are used to calculate GPA. All other grade options are ignored when calculating your PCC GPA.
