Completion of a course is defined as a receipt of a letter grade (A+ to F) as opposed to Withdrawal or Incomplete.
In order to determine a quality point ratio, each letter grade from a completed course is assigned a quality point value. The quality point value for each grade earned during a semester is multiplied by the number of semester hours assigned to that course. The sum of these points is the total number of quality points earned during the semester. It is divided by the number of semester hours completed to obtain the quality point ratio (QPR).

Pablo de Olavide University
Pablo de Olavide University was founded in 1997 and has a modern 345-acre campus located five miles from Seville's city center, easily accessible by bus or train. While the university is located outside the city center, its campus offers amenities and student services not often available in more centralized, urban campuses, including modern athletic, laboratory, and technical facilities.
You’ll take courses through the International Center at Pablo de Olavide; courses have been developed and are taught by professors from the university. You may enroll in Spanish language courses in addition to a wide-range of English & Spanish focused-area electives offered to the international student community. The university currently enrolls approximately 11,000 students.
The campus, faculty, and academic programs at Pablo de Olavide University provide a wonderful immersion experience. Although you will be in classes with other international students, you will witness the daily Spanish university campus life culture.
Accreditation
Pablo de Olavide University is a fully accredited, state-run institution that is recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education as a degree-granting institution of higher learning. UPO is aligned with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) standards.
Grading
The Spanish grading system is based on a scale of 10, as opposed to 100 in the U.S. system. It would be inaccurate to merely multiply a Spanish grade by 10 to find its U.S. equivalent. Grading in Spain is usually more severe than at U.S. institutions, and you should be prepared to adapt to different methods of teaching. Transcripts from Spanish universities list both numerical and verbal grades.
