Scholarship Requirements
A grade point average of 2.0 in all work taken at Occidental and in the major and minor, if any, is required for graduation.
The College uses two criteria to establish the scholastic status of a student: (1) that based on the 2.0 average and (2) that based on the number of courses successfully completed with respect to the total number of courses taken (normal academic progress).
Grade point average (GPA) is computed on a four-point scale: A equals 4.0, A- equals 3.7, B+ equals 3.3, B equals 3.0, B- equals 2.7, C+ equals 2.3, C equals 2.0, C- equals 1.7, D+ equals 1.3, D equals 1.0, and F equals 0.0. Courses graded CR/NC are not computed in the grade point average.
