Your Term Grade Point Average
Calculating Your G.P.A.
Each letter grade carriers a certain number of quality points per credit. For Example, a grade of "B" is worth three quality points per credit. If you received a "B" in a 3 credit course, you would have earned a total of 9 quality points. Your semester GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points earned in the semester by the total number of credits attempted.
| Grade | Quality Points Per Credit | |
| A | 4.00 | |
| A- | 3.67 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | |
| B | 3.00 | |
| B- | 2.67 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | |
| C | 2.00 | |
| C- | 1.67 | |
| D+ | 1.33 | |
| D | 1.00 | |
| D- | 0.67 | |
| F | 0.00 |
Example:
| Course | Credits | Grade/Quality Points | Total Quality Points |
| English 101 | 3 | A/4.000 | 12.000 |
| Math 111 | 4 | C/2.000 | 8.000 |
| Psych 101 | 3 | B+/3.330 | 9.990 |
| Total | 10 | 29.990 |
Total Quality Points/ Total Credits = Term G.P.A.
29.990 Total Quality Points/ 10 Total Credits= 2.999
NOTE: G.P.A. calculation truncates after three decimal places (i.e. 2.999 is 2.999 and does not get rounded to 3.000)
