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 pointsB = 3 grade pointsC = 2 grade pointsD = 1 grade pointF = 0 grade points

The following grades are not part of the GPA computation:

CR = Credit 0 grade points, no units attempted, but counts as completedNC = No Credit 0 grade points, no units attempted, no units completedW = Withdrawal 0 grade points, no units attempted, no units completedI = Incomplete 0 grade points, no units attemptedIP = In Progress 0 grade points, no units attemptedNG = Non Graded 0 grade pointsRD = Report Delayed 0 grade points, no units attempted
