Grade point average

Students’ GPAs 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’ GPA.

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

Example

Course Grade Hours completed Grade points
ENGL 1010 A 4.5 18
BSAD 1000 C 4.5 9
INFO 1001 F 4.5 0
ACCT 1050 D 3.0 3
Totals   16.5 30

Take the total number of grade points (30) and divide by total hours completed (16.5): GPA= 1.82

Note: Actions of R, P, W ,V, and Z do not apply toward the GPA but do appear in attempted hours.
