GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a calculation of your average grade based on the letter grades for all of your courses. Here are the basic steps to calculate your GPA:
- Determine the number of credit hours for each course
- Find the quality points for each course based on your letter grade using the standard 4.0 scale:
- A = 4 points
- B = 3 points
- C = 2 points
- D = 1 point
- F = 0 points
- Multiply the quality points for each course by the number of credit hours to get the quality points earned for that course
- Add up all the quality points earned for all courses
- Add up all the credit hours attempted for all courses
- Divide the total quality points earned by the total credit hours attempted
The result is your cumulative GPA. You can calculate your term or semester GPA using only the courses taken in that specific term.
