How to Calculate Your GPA

 Your GPA is calculated using Quality Points.  Quality Points are calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours for a class by grade points.

o       4 pts for an A

o       3 pts for a B

o       2 pts for a C

o       1 pt for a D

o       0 pts for an F

Courses with numbers beginning with a 0 (such as Math 021) do not count in GPA calculation.

Divide the total number of Quality Points by the number of credit hours (in this example, 21 divided by 10).  This calculates your GPA (21/10 = 2.10).
