How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade is worth grade points on the 4.0 scale. Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, add them up, and divide by your total credit hours.
Example
A (4.0) in a 3-credit class, B (3.0) in a 4-credit class, A- (3.7) in a 3-credit class.
= (4.0×3 + 3.0×4 + 3.7×3) ÷ 10 = 3.51 GPA.
= (4.0×3 + 3.0×4 + 3.7×3) ÷ 10 = 3.51 GPA.
The 4.0 scale
| A / A+ | 4.0 |
| A− | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B− | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
| C | 2.0 |
| C− / D+ / D / D− / F | 1.7 → 0.0 |
