Example A:
| Course Number | Credits Attempted | Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| WBIS 188 | 3 | B | 9 |
| PBIS 189 | 4 | A | 16 |
| Phy Ed 105 | 2 | B- | 5.34 |
| Biology | 4 | A- | 14.68 |
| Art 105 | 3 | C | 6 |
Total Credits Earned: 16
Total Credits Attempted: 16
Total Grade Points: 51.02
Divide 51.02/16 = 3.19
Semester GPA: 3.19
Example B:
| Course Number | Credits Attempted | Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology 104 | 4 | B | 12 |
| Anthropology 232 | 3 | A | 12 |
| English 226 | 3 | F | 0 |
| Math 110 | 3 | C | 6 |
Total Grade Points: 30Total Credits Earned: 10
Divide 30/13= 2.31
Semester GPA: 2.31
How to calculate your cumulative GPA
Divide your TOTAL grade points by TOTAL credits attempted.
Example
Grade Points
Fall Semester: 50
Spring Semester: 30
Credits Attempted
Fall Semester: 16
Spring Semester: 13
Using the examples above: 50 grade points & 16 credits attempted + 30 grade points & 13 credits attempted = 80 grade points & 29 credits attempted
80 grade points / 29 credits attempted = 2.76 (cumulative grade point average)
Repeat Policy (Effective 2021) – The best grade awarded will be used in the computation of grade point averages and credit earned.
