HOW TO CALCULATE A GPA

GPA is calculated using the following computation:

Total Quality Points Earned divided by the Total Number of Hours Attempted

Each Grade has a Quality Point assigned (Grades of W, I, or IP are not used when calculating GPA)

A = 4

B = 3

C = 2

D = 1

F = 0

WF = 0

STEP 1 – DETERMINE QUALITY POINTS FOR EACH CLASS

The quality points earned in a particular class are determined by:

Hours Credit multiplied by Grade Quality Points

Ex 1 : C in ENGL 1101 (3 credit hr class)

3 hrs X 2 pts (C) = 6 quality pts

Ex 2: B in PHED 1106 (1 credit hr class)

1 hr X 3 pts (B) = 3 quality pts

STEP 2 – CALCULATE GPA

Divide Total Quality Points earned by Total Number of Hours Attempted

Ex 1 (1^st Term): ENGL 1101 – B: 3 hrs X 3 pts = 9 quality pts

MATH 1111 – C: 3 hrs X 2 pts = 6 quality pts

HIST 2112 – D: 3 hrs X 1 pt = 3 quality pts

ABAC 1000 – A: 1 hr X 4 pts = 4 quality pts

PHED 1100 – A: 2 hrs X 4 pts = 8 quality pts

TOTALS = 12 hrs 30 pts

30 pts/12 hrs = 2.5 GPA

Ex 2 (2^nd Term): ENGL 1102 – W: not counted in GPA

POLS 1101 – C: 3 hrs X 2 pts = 6 quality pts

CISM 2201 – F: 3 hrs X 0 pts = 0 quality pts

TOTALS = 6 hrs 6 pts

6 pts / 6 hrs = 1.0 GPA

TOTAL GPA FOR BOTH TERMS 36 pts / 18 hrs = 2.0
