Quality points / Quality grade points--> Puntos de Calidad = Calificaciones
Explanation:
Buenas noches.
Creo que el equivalente en español sería "calificaciones" o "notas" simplemente.

"¿Qué es el promedio académico transferible (GPA)?
El GPA que se puede transferir a otra universidad se obtiene al dividir el número total de horas crédito obtenidas en todas las universidades a las que asistió entre el número de **PUNTOS DE CALIDAD(quality points)** obtenidos en estos cursos en todas las instituciones educativas en las que estudió previamente".
www.usg.edu/ga-easy/espanol/getintocollege/ admiss/transfer/trans_req.phtml
Cálculo de su Promedio Académico (GPA)
Las universidades de Georgia utilizan una escala de 4.0 para calcular el Promedio Académico (GPA) de los/las estudiantes de la escuela secundaria. Todas las notas expresadas en letras se convierten a puntos (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0) y se suman todos los puntos. Se divide el total entre el número de clases que se siguen y se redondea a dos puntos decimales".
http://www.usg.edu/ga-easy/espanol/getintocollege/admiss/fre...

Si entras en esta web, verás un cuadro con los puntos de calidad correspondientes a las letras en las diferentes asignaturas:

Redacción de Inglés: B 3
Álgebra II : A 4
Historia de los Estados Unidos: C 2
Biología: B 3
Francés: B 3

La suma de estos Puntos de Calidad es 15.
Se divide este total (15) entre las asignaturas (5) y da 3.
GPA: 3.00

La letra A equivaldría a Sobresaliente
La letra B a Notable
La letra C a Bien
La letra D a Aprobado
La letra E a Suspenso

Según esta estimación, el GPA sería el equivalente al Notable (7/8) en España.

A hours: All attempted hours (including transfer, F's and W's)
E hours: All earned hours (including transfer).
Q hours: Quality hours--these are Tarleton only credit hours.

Grade Point Average
A student’s academic standing at Ave Maria College is measured by the grade point average (GPA). To calculate one’s GPA, multiply the number of credit hours attempted by the numerical value of the grade (A = 4; B+ = 3.3; etc.) This total is a student’s quality grade points. Divide this total by the number of credit hours attempted to obtain the grade point average.

Grade Point Average- The total number of **quality points** earned divided by the total number of averaged credit hours.

___________________________________________
"The unweighted rank is simply an average of a student’s grade point average. While, the weighted rank is very similar, it takes into account course levels. For example, a student who received an A in an honors course would receive more credit than another student who received an A in a Level 2 class. The third class ranking, known as the QUALITY POINT rank, accounts for both the level of difficulty in a class and also how many credits the course is worth. Understandably, this method causes the most confusion with students.

“QUALITY POINT is sort of like a ‘SUPER RANK,’ ” explained Lenape senior Chau Ngyuen, who is currently ranked number one in this year’s graduating class in the quality point and weighted rankings".

“Nobody understands how the quality point rank is figured,” said Phuong.

puntaje de calificacion


Explanation:
la traduccion textual es puntos de calidad, pero no existe el concepto en espaniol.
La pregunta es: hay otro puntaje en el mismo documento, pero que no tiene el mismo valor o significato? Si no lo hay, entonces la traduccion es sencilla: Calificacion, o puntaje de calificacion.
Si hay otro tipo de puntaje, tendras que encontrar el calificativo indicado.
