CALCULATING YOUR GPA

Each course you take is worth a certain number of semester hours. When you receive a final grade in the course, a specific number of points is assigned to the grade as indicated in the table below.

Note: Courses taken S/U and courses in which W's are received do not count toward the GPA.

Grade   Points 5 sem hrs 4 sem hrs 3 sem hrs 2 sem hrs 1 sem hr .5 sem hr
A+, A 4.00 20.00 16.00 12.00 8.00 4.00 2.00

*Multiply number of points by semester hours per course (computer rounded)

For each course you will earn course points which are then summed to arrive at a total number of points for the term. This sum is then divided by the number of GPA semester hours taken for that term.

EXAMPLE: 40.67 Points / 13 GPA Sem Hrs = 3.13 Term GPA (round to the nearest hundredth)
