So, your initial GPA will be the average of all of your accepted credits at 2.0 or better and can go up or down after that with every successive class or exam that you PASS after that. However not all exams receive letter grades but just a "P" for pass and they do not affect you GPA.



Just a quick note, they did accept a D (1.0) credit I had. It's since been replaced with a duplicative credit I got an A on. I'm not sure what the official policy is on transfering in a D, I just not know I had one on my status report for a while.
