GPA Calculation
For the purposes of computing grade-point average, grades are evaluated as follows for each semester hour of credit:
| Grade Quality |
Points |
Grade Quality |
Points |
| A |
4.0 |
C |
2.0 |
| A- |
3.7 |
C- |
1.7 |
| B+ |
3.3 |
D+ |
1.3 |
| B |
3.0 |
D |
1.0 |
| B- |
2.7 |
D- |
0.7 |
| C+ |
2.3 |
F |
0.0 |
For example, if a student receives an A in two courses, one carrying 3 credits and one carrying 1 credit; a B in a 3-credit course; a B- in a 3-credit course; a C- in a 2-credit course; a D in a 3-credit course; and an F in a 2-credit course, the grade-point average is computed as follows:
- A or 4 quality points per hour x 4 credits = 16 quality points-B or 3 quality points per hour x 3 credits = 9 quality points-B- or 2.7 quality points per hour x 3 credits = 8.1 quality points-C- or 1.7 quality points per hour x 2 credits = 3.4 quality points-D or 1 quality point per hour x 3 credits = 3 quality points-F or 0 quality points per hour x 2 credits = 0 quality points-17 credits for a total of 39.5 quality points
- To calculate this student's semester grade-point average, the quality point total is divided by the total number of credits taken: 39.5 ÷ 17 = 2.32.
- The cumulative grade-point average (CGPA) for a student's record is determined by adding the credits attempted and dividing this total into the total number of quality points. The cumulative grade-point average indicates the academic record of the student for the time enrolled at the University and does not include transfer credit.
