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).
