How to Calculate Your GPA
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is the average of your end of term grades. You can figure your GPA on a semester by semester basis or for your cumulative, overall GPA.
Grades are assigned a numerical value:
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0
Note: Units attempted that result in CR/NC, W, IP, RD or INC grades are not used to calculate the GPA.
Example:
| Course | Units Attempted | X | Grade (numerical value) |
= | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENGL R101 | 4 | X | A (4) | = | 16 |
| MATH R105 | 4 | X | B (3) | = | 12 |
| SOC R101 | 3 | X | B (3) | = | 9 |
| HED R102 | 3 | X | C (2) | = | 6 |
| POL SCI 101 | (3) | X | W (0) | = | 0 |
| TOTALS | 14 | 43 |
- Multiply the units attempted by the numerical value of the grade to get grade points
Units attempted Grade Grade Points Example: 3 x 4 = 12 -
Total the units attempted column and total the grade point column.
- The GPA is determined by dividing the total grade points by the number of attempted units.
Grade Points Units attempted Grade Point Average 43 / 14 = 3.07
