    I'm a freshman and on my grade report it says "quality points." I was wondering what that is.

    Thanks,
    Stud

    Quality points are used to help you determine your GPA (if I remember correctly). If you're taking 4 classes worth 3 credit hours each (so you have 12 hours), you accumulate quality points based on your grades.

    Each A=4 pts., each B=3 pts., etc.

    So if you make 3 B's and 1 A, your quality points would be (hours x quality points):

    (3x3) + (3x3) + (3x3) + (3x4) = 39 quality points

    Divide that by credit hours...39/12 = 3.25 GPA

    good luck!

    I thought it was when you beat up a student who is ranked in the "top 10" for GPA......you are then rewarded "quality points"......atleast thats how I understand it.......But make sure you don't beat them up twice, becuase then you will get screwed!!!:D ;)

    Son, if you're making 3 B's and 1 A I'd have to say

    You are concentrating on school too much and not enough on football. However, you'll have next year to get your priorities in order. LOL

    Addendum to post above

    If you're taking 12 hrs. there is no wiggle room to drop the low class. Schedule 15 or 18 hrs. and then, at the appropriate time drop those classes you are struggling in. From your former fellow LSU student, 4 yr. degree in 7 short years.

    Maybe he's really ripped. If so, don't flex in the basement of Lockett, you'll blow the walls out. And under no circumstances should you flex in the Coates bathroom. Unless that's your thing, beefcake.

    I really try and stay away from Jason White's place, if that's what you're implying.

    Hahaha - Well said. The Heisman trophy as the doorstop is the dead giveaway. Just back out of the bathroom, no matter how badly you have to go...
