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 C1000 | 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 |
| POLS C1000 | (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
Grade Scale:
4.0 = A average
3.0 = B average
2.0 = C average
1.0 = D average
0.0 = F average
