Calculating your GPA

GPA is the numerical value between 0 and 4 that is assigned to grades. Use this guide to calculate yours.

Assign a point value to a letter grade.

A=4 points

B=3 points

C=2 points

D=1 point

F=0 points

Credit hour is the value assigned for each completed course. For example, ENG 101 has a credit of three hours.

1. Multiply the value of your grade by the number of semester hours the course is worth. This gives the grade points earned for the course.
2. Add the grade points.
3. Divide the total number of grade points by the total number of semester hours you have attempted.

Example:

Course Grade Credit Hours Points
ENG 101 A 4 3 12
MAT 110 B 3 3 9
BIO 101 C 2 4 8
Total     10 29

 

29 grade points divided by 10 semester hours attempted = 2.90 GPA.
