How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average (GPA)
Computing Your Grade Point Average (GPA)
Computing your GPA – THE STEPS
See table below for sample data.
Step 1: Find the grade point value for each course taken (some transcripts already take this step for you). Multiply the number of units/credits of a course by the value of each grade (see values below).
Example:
ENGL 110 3 units x B(3) = 9
Step 2: Add together the total grade points received for each course to determine grade point total for all colleges. (Amount from chart below = 49)
Step 3: Add together the units/credits Attempted. (Amount from chart below = 16)
Step 4: Finally, divide (÷) total grade points by total units/credits attempted. The result will be your grade point average.
Step 2 ÷ Step 3 = G.P.A.
Example: 49 ÷ 16 = G.P.A.
| Course | Units/Credits Attempted | Grade Earned | Units Completed | Grade Points |
| Spanish 185 | 5 | A (4) | 5 | 20.0 |
| Art 100 | 3 | CR (0) | 3 | — |
| English 110 | 3 | B (3) | 3 | 9.0 |
| Geology 100 | 4 | C (2) | 4 | 8.0 |
| Math 160 | 4 | B (3) | 4 | 12.0 |
| Totals: | 16 | 19 | 49.0 |
Grade Point Value:
A = 4 grade points
B = 3 grade points
C = 2 grade points
D = 1 grade point
F = 0 grade points
The following grades are not part of the GPA computation:
CR = Credit – 0 grade points, no units attempted, but counts as completed
NC = No Credit – 0 grade points, no units attempted, no units completed
W = Withdrawal – 0 grade points, no units attempted, no units completed
I = Incomplete – 0 grade points, no units attempted
IP = In Progress – 0 grade points, no units attempted
NG = Non Graded – 0 grade points
RD = Report Delayed – 0 grade points, no units attempted
