How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average (GPA)
Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total amount of quality
points earned by the total amount of GPA hours. Your grade point average may
range from 0.0 to a 4.0.
For example:
A=4 quality points
B=3 quality points
C=2 quality points
D=1 quality point
F=0 quality points
Determine the number of quality points by multiplying the number of credit hours
each class is worth by the number corresponding to each letter grade above.
