this happens a lot with grad schools. usually (at least in the US), grad level courses from the same department or program carry the same number of credits. So the credit hours will factor out when you calculate the GPA. But you must consult the registrar office of your grad school and ask for a documentation regarding the exact number of credits. Registrar should have a written policy for this type of question. Have paperwork attached to your official transcript. I think it's better to do this now, because more than likely, B-school will ask for an explanation with regards to your grad level grade. Why not do it now since you have the time? As for pass/no-pass grade, the generally accepted policy (in the US) is to exclude it from your GPA calculation. I don't think you can assign a numberical value (4.0 or 3.0) to it. Basically GPA calculation should only include courses in which you have received a letter grade (A, B, C etc), or whatever your % grade can be converted to. So courses you take as pass/no-pass, or credit/no-credit usually don't count toward the calculation. |
