The cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation includes grades for all courses taken at Villanova. Transfer credits do not affect the student’s GPA. The Technical Grade Point Average (TGPA) calculation includes grades for courses from the following subject areas: Engineering (EGR), Chemical Engineering (CHE), Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Chemistry (CHM), Mathematics (MAT) and Physics (PHY).
Repeated Course Effect on GPA and TGPA
If a student repeats a course, both grades remain in the GPA calculation, while only the second grade remains in the TGPA calculation. In both cases, course credits can be earned only once. Transfer credit may not be used to replace a grade in the TGPA.
