Grade point average

Students’ grade point averages (GPA) are determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted in those courses that count toward students’ grade point averages.

To calculate a GPA:

grade value x credit hours completed = grade points

A

4 x 4.5 = 18

B

3 x 4.5 = 13.5

C

2 x 4.5 = 9

D

1 x 4.5 = 4.5

F

0 x 4.5 = 0
