Computing Grade Point Average

1. List course, hours of credits, grade, and grade point value for each course you wish to include in the G.P.A. (grade point average). A chart to help you determine the grade point value for each grade is listed below:

A	4.0 grade points	C	2.0 grade points
A-	3.7 grade points	C-	1.7 grade points
B+	3.3 grade points	D+	1.3 grade points
B	3.0 grade points	D	1.0 grade points
B-	2.7 grade points	D-	0.7 grade points
C+	2.3 grade points	F	0.0 grade points

 

2. Total the hours of credit column and the grade point value column. Do not add in the courses with CR grades, as they have no grade point value.
   
3. Divide the hours of credit column total into the grade point value column total to obtain the G.P.A. of the courses you listed.

Example:

	Hours of Credits	Grade	Grade Point Value
Course 1	2	CR	0.0
Course 2	3	B+	9.9
Course 3	2	A-	7.4
Course 4	3	C	6.0
Course 5	2	F	0.0
Course 6	3	B-	8.1
Totals	13	--	31.4


31.4 grade points / 13 credits = 2.415 Grade Point Average

In this example, the 2 hours of F grade are included in the total hours because F grades/hours are computed in the G.P.A.

The following table give grade points for each grade based on the number of credits.

Hours Earned	6 cr.	5 cr.	4 cr.	3 cr.	2 cr.	1 cr.
A	24.0	20.0	16.0	12.0	8.0	4.0
A-	22.2	18.5	14.8	11.1	7.4	3.7
B+	19.8	16.5	13.2	9.9	6.6	3.3
B	18.0	15.0	12.0	9.0	6.0	3.0
B-	16.2	13.5	10.8	8.1	5.4	2.7
C+	13.8	11.5	9.2	6.9	4.6	2.3
C	12.0	10.0	8.0	6.0	4.0	2.0
C-	10.2	8.5	6.8	5.1	3.4	1.7
D+	7.8	6.5	5.2	3.9	2.6	1.3
D	6.0	5.0	4.0	3.0	2.0	1.0
D-	4.2	3.5	2.8	2.1	1.4	0.7
F	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
