Test out from degree - GPA? - leswede - 11-19-2015
Hello,
I'm currently doing SL and plan on doing TECEP on all my TESC courses to finish up. If I do this, what would one write as GPA when applying for jobs? The field I'm in always asks for this.
If I take one course, to get a GPA, and get an A, would you consider me having 4.0?
Thanks,
leswede

Yes, if you took 1 course, that would be your GPA at TESC. I have 1 course at a cc, I have a 4.0 there.
Will they look at your transcripts to see your GPA, or do they take you on your word? Will they look further into it?

That's a loaded question. Would "I" consider you have a 4.0 GPA? No, I would assume its around the low 2s, since P/F CR/NCR equate to a C equivalency.
Now officially, the answer is a big YES, you do have a 4.0 GPA and it will state so on your transcript.
Keep in mind, if your education journey stops here, you're good. You can honestly without deception say on a resume that you have a 4.0 GPA because that is a determination of the school and not some national consensus. Now if you plan on going on to grad school, some (and i say SOME) grad schools may require more graded credits for acceptance.
