text: The grade point average for any period is obtained by dividing the quality points earned by the total number of credits for which the student was enrolled during that period. Grades of S, U, H, W, NR or I are not included in determining the grade point average.
  UM grade point average and grade point average of record. Effective Spring 2011, for each undergraduate student at the University there will be calculated one cumulative GPA. The CUM GPA is the University of Missouri GPA, which will include all grades, credits, and honor points attempted at any University of Missouri System campus. In computing the GPA, the grade points assigned to students' transfer work are the grade points that would have been assigned if the courses had been taken on the University of Missouri campus, including any adjustments made under policies related to course repeats and/or Academic Renewal/Forgiveness. The CUM GPA will be the GPA of record and will be printed on the official transcript along with the term GPAs.

  DARS occasionally fails to apply a course to the correct area. This most often happens when the student has a number of courses that are eligible for use in more than one area. You can fix it by forcing a course out of an area if it’s needed elsewhere.
  NOTE: If the student has not yet completed all 75 credits, wait–and tell the student to be patient. The courses will most likely be applied correctly in the end.
  If a postbac student has completed some but not all credits of AofKs elsewhere, you can waive those credits. [Note: Admissions does not transfer credit for students in postbac status.]
  If a postbac student has completed 20 credits of an AofK elsewhere, you can remove the requirement from the audit. [Note: Admissions does not transfer credit for students in postbac status.]
