How to Calculate your GPA

There are three components to figuring a GPA:
  1. The grade points assigned to a specific grade:
    A4.0
    A -3.7
    B +3.3
    B3.0
    B-2.7
    C+2.3
    C2.0
    C-1.7
    D+1.3
    D1.0
    D-0.7
    E0.0
  2. The hours/credits for a specific class.
  3. The total grade points that result by multiplying hours by points assigned to a grade.

The Calculation

  1. First add up the total hours attempted and total grade points earned...

    For Example:
    Credit
    Hours
    Grade
    Grade
    Points
    4 hours
    x
    A (4.0)
    =
    16.0
    3 hours
    x
    B+ (3.3)
    =
    9.9
    5 hours
    x
    C (2.0)
    =
    10.0

    12 hours
    35.9
  2. Then divide the total grade points by the overall hours.

    35.9/12 = 2.99 GPA

    The formula's:
    GPA X Hours = Grade Points
    Grade Points / attempted Hours = GPA

Add or Subtract Grades:

  1. First you need to get your Academic Summary. This is available online when you access your student records.
    Example:
    Academic Summary
    Academic
    Career
    Units
    Passed
    Grade
    Points
    GPA
    Units
    GPA
    Transfer
    Units
    Test
    Credit
    Other
    Units
    Cumulative
    Units
    Academic
    Level
    Undergraduate
    39.66
    99.799
    54.66
    1.826
    21.99
    0
    0
    61.65

  2. Then add or subtract hours and grade points you are considering and then re-divide using the calculation.
    Note: You must use GPA Units, not Units Passed.
    GPA Units includes "E's", but does not include CLEP, CR/NC, Transfer, etc.
    Examples:
    If I got all "B's" this semester (12 hours), what would happen?
    • Add in: 3.00 x 12 hours = 36 grade points
      Refigure:
      99.799
      54.66
      +36.000
      +12.00


      135.799
      66.66
      135.799 grade points/66.66 hours = 2.037 cum GPA

    If I repeated 8 hours on "D's" this semester, and earned all "B's", what would happen?
    • Subtract out: 1.00 x 8 hours = 8 grade points
      then add in 3.00 x 8 hours = 24 points
      Refigure:
      99.799
      54.66
      - 8.000
      - 8.00
      +24.000
      + 8.00


      115.799
      54.66
      115.799 grade points/54.66 hours = 2.119 cum GPA

    If I repeated a 5 hour "E" and a 5 hour "D-" this semester, and earned all "B's", what would happen?
    • Subtract out: 0.00 x 5 hours = 0 grade points & 0.7 x 5 hours = 3.5 grade points then add in 3.00 x 10 hours = 30 points
      Refigure:
      99.799
      54.66
      - 3.500
      -10.00
      +30.000
      +10.00


      126.299
      54.66
      126.299 grade points/54.66 hours = 2.311 cum GPA
