How GPA is calculated
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)
Each letter grade maps to grade points (A = 4.0). Multiply by credit hours, sum, and divide by total credits. Example: A (3 cr), B+ (4 cr), A- (3 cr) → (4.0×3 + 3.3×4 + 3.7×3) ÷ 10 = 36.3 ÷ 10 = 3.63.
| Letter | Points | Letter | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | C+ | 2.3 |
| A- | 3.7 | C | 2.0 |
| B+ | 3.3 | C- | 1.7 |
| B | 3.0 | D | 1.0 |
| B- | 2.7 | F | 0.0 |
