The student will observe the notation of "Quality Point" on the transcript. It is from these quality points that the GPA is calculated. Quality points are calculated by multiplying the credit hours of the course by the points earned by the grade received: A = 4; B = 3; C = 2; D = 1; and F = 0 points.
The numerical values assigned to letter grades. For example, a grade of C+ is worth 2.3 quality points per semester hour. A 3-hour course in which a student earns a C+ produces 6.9 quality points, or 3 hours X 2.3 = 6.9 quality points.
HLRSC members earn two quality points for each Best of Breed and Best In Show and one quality point for each Best Opposite Sex and Best Reserve (also Best 4 Class, when available) won in sanctioned shows.
