Grade point average
Students’ GPAs are determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted in those courses that count toward students’ GPA.
To calculate a GPA:
grade value x credit hours completed = grade points
| A |
4 x 4.5 = 18 |
| B |
3 x 4.5 = 13.5 |
| C |
2 x 4.5 = 9 |
| D |
1 x 4.5 = 4.5 |
| F |
0 x 4.5 = 0 |
Example
Take the total number of grade points (30) and divide by total hours completed (16.5): GPA= 1.82
Note: Actions of R, P, W ,V, and Z do not apply toward the GPA but do appear in attempted hours.
