Grade Points–Number of credit hours for a course times the grade value.
Attempted Hours–Credit hours for which you earn a grade (excluding Incompletes , P/NP, or Ws); note:
WF is the same grade as an F and counts in attempted hours.
Earned Hours–Credit hours that you passed (with a grade of D or higher).
Redlining of Course–When a course in which you received a substandard grade is taken for a second time
and indicated on your transcript. The first grade will then be excluded from your GPA.

course limit, all non-redline attempts of the course are counted in the GPA regardless of the grade earned in
the course.
