To Calculate Grade Point Average
- Multiply the credit hour value of the course times the numerical value of the letter grade to obtain grade points.
- Divide grade points by the total number of traditionally graded credit hours.
- Result is the grade point average.
GPA Calculation Example
| Semester 1 | RHET 105 | 4 sem. hrs. | A = | 4 x 4.00 = | 16.00 |
| HIST 171 | 3 sem. hrs. | B- = | 3 x 2.67 = | 8.01 |
|
| KIN 268 | 3 sem. hrs. | B+ = | 3 x 3.33 = | 9.99 |
|
| GEOL 199 | 1 sem. hrs. | CR = | 1 x 0.00 | 0.00 |
|
| PSYC 100 | 4 sem. hrs. | D = | 4 x 1.00 | 4.00 |
|
| 14 graded sem. hrs. | 38.00 points |
||||
| Semester 1 GPA = 38.00 points / 14 sem. hrs. = 2.714 | |||||
| Semester 2 | SPCM 101 | 3 sem. hrs. | B = | 3 x 3.00 = | 9.00 |
| IB 101 | 4 sem. hrs. | C+ = | 4 x 2.33 = | 9.32 |
|
| ENGL 103 | 3 sem. hrs. | A+ = | 3 x 4.00 = | 12.00 |
|
| PS 101 | 3 sem. hrs. | B- = | 3 x 2.67 | 8.01 |
|
| MATH 117 | 3 sem. hrs. | B+ = | 3 x 3.33 | 9.99 |
|
| 16 graded sem. hrs. | 48.32 points |
||||
| Semester 2 GPA = 48.32 points / 16 sem. hrs. = 3.020 | |||||
Cumulative GPA = (48.32 + 38.00 points) / (14 + 16 sem. hrs.) = 2.877
