[La-cgs] GPA calculation for Capella University transcript

[Carol M Wicks]

Hello,

I asked our Admission officers ---

"When I see this I reach out to the applicant to have Capella provide a traditional transcript with letter grades and a noted GPA. Each time I request this they have provided a traditional transcript to support the flex path transcript. With the traditional transcript I then use those credits and letter grades to calculate the gpa."

Subject: [La-cgs] GPA calculation for Capella University transcript

Hello Council members:

We are completely stumped by a transcript from Capella University (a redacted copy is attached). As you know, we use GPA to determine eligibility for admission. In this case, we are unable to calculate a GPA by our usual methods. If any of you have experience with this, please advise. I am also including a cover letter from the applicant which provides some explanation to Capella's system.

Our registrar's staff believes that we may be seeing more of these types of transcripts.

Best regards,
Ramu
