13. Group 1: You have only attended CI or your overall cumulative GPA is deficient  Your attempted units are located under the CUM TOTALS (ex. 68 attempted units)  If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95), deduct it from your attempted units total  Your CI/CUM GPA will be noted next to CUM GPA (ex. 1.58)

14. Group 2: If you’ve attended another school, and your CI GPA is deficient  You will need to add the attempted units located under the TERM TOTALS for every semester you’ve attended CI [ex. 7 + 10 - 1 (CR class) = 16 attempted units  If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95), deduct it from your attempted units total  Find your CI GPA in My Academics “Current Academic Summary”
