Computing the GPA
The following grades are included in the GPA computation: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, and F (WN, WU, FIN, Y). P grades are not included. To compute the GPA, multiply the numerical value attached to each letter grade by the number of credits assigned to each course. The product of this multiplication (numerical value of grade x number of credits) determines the quality points for each course. Finally, divide the total number of points earned in all courses by the total number of credits.
GPA = Total Quality Points Earned / Total Credits
Here is an example:
Grade | Numerical Value | Credits | Quality Points |
---|---|---|---|
A | 4.00 | 2 | 8.00 |
A- | 3.70 | 6 | 22.20 |
B+ | 3.30 | 4 | 13.20 |
B- | 2.70 | 2 | 5.40 |
C | 2.00 | 3 | 6.00 |
C- | 1.70 | 2 | 3.40 |
D | 1.00 | 3 | 3.00 |
F(WU)(WN) | 0.00 | 2 | 0.00 |
24 | 61.20 |
61.20 / 24 = 2.55 GPA
