Okay so I'm 3 weeks into my first and hopefully only session at UMPI. I've completed 5 of my 10 needed classes and so far have straight 4s on ALL of my finals. I'm hoping that means I will get A+ in each of those classes. That being said how will my GPA be calculated? Will it also take into account grades from RA credits I transferred into UMPI as well? I don't know exactly which courses will get utilized towards my degree and which ones won't as I transferred in 115 credits. That said I was hoping to graduate with honors and some of my grades I transferred in are Cs on classes that I know for sure I need, like math.
I think I may have found the answer on their website but it's hard to know for sure without someone who has graduated recently chiming in since UMPIs policies for yourpace seem to change daily.
Transfer Policies & Practices
Transferring students must provide official transcripts reflecting all previous post-secondary coursework.
An evaluation of transfer credit will be prepared by the Transfer Officer for each accepted transfer student, and will be available in the student’s MaineStreet Student Center. The transfer student should meet with an academic advisor at the receiving university to review how the transfer credit will be applied toward the student’s degree program. Transfer evaluations will be prepared based on the following principles:
Within the University of Maine System: Undergraduate courses completed with a C- or higher, including P grades, will transfer from one UMS university to another. Grades will be recorded on the student’s transcript but not computed into the cumulative GPA.
Outside the University of Maine System: Credit earned with a C- or higher in courses from regionally accredited colleges/universities outside the UMS will be considered for transfer. Pass-fail courses taken outside the UMS must have “pass” defined as a C- or higher in order to transfer.
Generally, course grades do not transfer from one college/ university to another. Semester and cumulative GPA’s reflect only those courses taken at the home university. Students in cooperative degree programs should inquire about any exceptions that may apply.
Coursework defined as developmental by the University to which the student is transferring will not be awarded degree credit. Developmental courses are considered preparatory to college-level work, and will not count towards a degree.
Courses from colleges and universities outside the United States will be accepted for transfer consistent with established university policies and practices.
