Weekly Word to the Wise: Calculating Your GPA

| 0 comments

Here is how to calculate your GPA:

Each letter grade has a grade point equivalent. List your grades in a column, then each grade point equivalent next to the letter grade. Multiply each grade point equivalent by the number of credits for each class. Total all products and divide by the total number of credits. The answer will be your grade point average for that semester.

Grade Point Average
GRADE GRADE POINT EQUIVALENT CREDITS QUALITY POINT
A 4.00 3 12.00
A- 3.70 3 11.10
B+ 3.30 3 9.90
B 3.00 2 6.00
B- 2.70 3 8.10
C+ 2.30 3 6.90
C 2.00 1 2.00
C- 1.70 2 3.40
D+ 1.30 3 3.90
D 1.00 4 4.00
D- .70 3 2.10
F or IF .00 3 .00
*TOTAL *33 *69.40

*Example: Divide total quality points (69.40) by total number of registered credits (33) = 2.103 (grade point average) — excluding W’s, INC’s, NA and P’s. Also see course repeat policy.
