GPA Calculation
The GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned (quality points) by the total number of graded hours attempted (GPA-Hrs.)
As part of the most recent conversion, the previously separate GPAs of students who have taken classes in our graduate schools of Basic Medical Sciences and Health Sciences and Practice are now combined. This is in line with the best practice followed by most colleges and universities, where the cumulative GPA includes all courses taken at the same (in this case, graduate) level. The Doctor of Medicine program does not employ a GPA.
Converted Records
As of April 2016, Touro University and its subsidiaries implemented a new student information system. In so doing, the formatting of student transcripts changed. This will certify that the transcript format produced on or after May 2, 2016, official or unofficial is the result of the change to the new system.
New York Medical College has had two prior computerized student record conversions: The first in 1985 and the second in 2001. With all three conversions, the formatting of student transcripts changed, as did the subject code abbreviation associated with each course. Course numbers and titles have remained consistent with a few exceptions.
