How to calculate your GPA (Grade Point Average)

The grade point average is calculated by taking the sum of all points earned during a term and dividing this number by the sum of all credits attempted in a particular term.

For example:

Course Number	Course Name	Credits Attempted	Grade	Points
HE 122	Human Anatomy	3	B	9.00
AN 199	Animal Anatomy	2	A	8.00
Total		5		17.00

17.00 points divided by 5 credits attempted = 3.40 grade point average (GPA).
