Calculating GPA
How to Calculate a Grade Point Average:
  1. List your classes, Credit/Hours and grade
  2. Assign Points to your Grades.* (Do not assign points to grades of P)
  3. Multiply Credits/Hours together. Add Grade Points together. (Do not add in the credits for classes graded P.)
  4. Divide total Grade Points by total Credits/Hours.
Class Credits Grade Points Grade Pts.
Hist 101 3 A 4 12
Geog 102 2 B 3 6
Eng 101 4 C 2 8
  9     26
26 ÷ 9 = 2.88 GPA

Calculating GPA from more than one college:

  1. Look at end of each transcript for:
    1. total Credits/Hours
    2. total Grade/Quality points
  2. Change term Credits/Hours to semester Credits/Hours if necessary. (See below),
  3. Add total Credits/Hours from College A to total Credits/Hours from College B.
  4. Add total Grade/Quality points from College A to total Grade/Quality points from College B
  5. Divide the total Grade/Quality points by the total Credits/Hours to get the GPA.
Institution Credits/Hours Grade/Quality pts (GPA)
College A 14 56 (4.0)
College B 100 264 (2.6)
  114 320

320 ÷ 114 = 2.81

Changing from term credits to semester credits

Determine how many term credits you need to change to semester credits. Then follow this formula:
(2 x Qtr Hrs) ÷ 3

*

A = 4.0 C+ = 2.3
A- = 3.7 C = 2.0
B+ = 3.3 C- = 1.7
B = 3.0 D+ = 1.3
B- = 2.7 D = 1.0
