Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated by taking the sum of all points earned during a term and dividing it by the sum of all credits attempted in a particular term.
To calculate your GPA
- Add together all the points for the grades you received in each course. See the chart above for specifics.
- Add together all the credits attempted for all your courses. See the grading symbols to see if specific course credits should be included in your total.
- Divide your point total by the credit total.
For example:
You took HE 122 Human Anatomy worth 3 credits and AN 199 Animal Anatomy worth 2 credits.
Your credit total would be 5.
You received a B in HE 122 and the A in AN 199. Those are worth 9.00 and 8.00 points. Your total points are 17.00.
17.00 divided by 5 credits is equal to a GPA of 3.40.
Note: The A+ grade was added July 1, 2004. |
