HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR GPA
GPA = Quality Points/Graded Credits (sh)
Process for calculating semester GPA:
- List courses, credits, grades
- Assign appropriate quality points (QP)
- Add up credits for graded courses (A-E; NOT P/F)
- Add up quality points
- Divide the quality points by graded credits
Letter Grade | 1Sh | 2SH | 3SH | 4SH |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | 4.00 | 8.00 | 12.00 | 16.00 |
A- | 3.67 | 7.34 | 11.01 | 14.68 |
B+ | 3.34 | 6.68 | 10.02 | 13.36 |
B | 3.00 | 6.00 | 9.00 | 12.00 |
B- | 2.67 | 5.34 | 8.01 | 10.68 |
C+ | 2.34 | 4.68 | 7.02 | 9.36 |
C | 2.00 | 4.00 | 6.00 | 8.00 |
C- | 1.67 | 3.34 | 5.01 | 6.68 |
D+ | 1.34 | 2.68 | 4.02 | 5.36 |
D | 1.00 | 2.00 | 3.00 | 4.00 |
D- | 0.67 | 1.34 | 2.01 | 2.68 |
E | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
COURSE | SH | GRADE | QP |
---|---|---|---|
PSYC 100 | (3) | W | doesn’t count in GPA |
PROF 100 | (1) | P | doesn’t count in GPA |
ESCI 100 | 3 | C- | 5.01 |
COMP 100 | 3 | B | 9.00 |
ANTH105 | 3 | E | 0.00 |
INTD 107 | 1 | C | 2.00 |
PHED 145 | 1 | B+ | 3.34 |
Total GPA Credits | 11 | 19.35 |
Repeat Courses & GPA
Using the example above, if you repeated ANTH 105 and earned a B the second time, the E you earned the first time would no longer count in your GPA.
NOTE: The E remains on your transcript, but there is a symbol (^) next to it indicating it has been repeated and it no longer is used in your GPA calculation (^E).
This is what would happen to your first semester GPA:
COURSE | SH | GRADE | QP |
---|---|---|---|
PSYC 100 | (3) | W | doesn’t count in GPA |
PROF 100 | (1) | P | doesn’t count in GPA |
ESCI 100 | 3 | C- | 5.01 |
COMP 100 | 3 | B | 9.00 |
ANTH 105 | (3) | ^E | doesn’t count in GPA |
INTD 107 | 1 | C | 2.00 |
PHED 145 | 1 | B+ | 3.34 |
Total GPA Credits | 8 | 19.35 |
GPA = [19.35/8] = 2.418 (do not round up) = 2.41
The B you earned upon repeating would be counted in the current semester’s GPA, and your cumulative GPA.
