GPA Calculation

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

4 pts for an A
3 pts for a B
2 pts for a C
1 pt for a D
0 pts for an F

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

Example of GPA Calculation:

Course	Grade Expected	Grade Points	x	Credit Hours	=	Quality Points
HIST 101	A	4	x	3	=	12
MATH 021	B	--	x	--	=	--
BIOL 101	C	2	x	3	=	6
BIOL 103	B	3	x	1	=	3
ENGL 101	F	0	x	3	=	0
TOTALS				10		21

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).
