Questions on College Composition

[Merlin]

Well, lets say you want to get a job that requires 3.0 GPA, do they just not count it then? How exactly does that work?

Some types of credit is considered "non-graded credit". This means it appears on a transcript simply as "CR/CREDIT" or "PASS" and those credits are simply ignored when GPA is calculated.

Of course, if you are transferring to another school or applying for a job that wants to see transcripts for GPA purposes, chances are they will calculate their own version of your GPA. Most will probably just ignore the non-graded credits like the schools do, however, they could ask for transcripts from the alternate credit providers as well so they may establish a GPA equivalency for those non-graded courses based on % scored in the course.
