Grade Point Average (GPA)
The grade point average is computed by multiplying the numerical value of grades A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+, D, D–, F, FIN, and WU with the number of credits of each course, which yields the number of quality points. The number of quality points is then divided by the total number of attempted credits to yield the grade point average. For example, the grade point average of a student who has attempted 30 credits with grades ranging from A to WU is calculated as follows:
| Number of Credits |
Grade Quality Points |
| 6 x A (4.0) |
24.0 |
| 3 x A- (3.7) |
11.1 |
| 4 x B+ (3.3) |
13.2 |
| 3 x B (3.0) |
9.0 |
| 3 x C+ (2.3) |
6.9 |
| 8 x C (2.0) |
16.0 |
| 1 x D (1.0) |
1.0 |
| 1 x F (0.0) |
0.0 |
| 1 x WU (0.0) |
0.0 |
| 30 |
81.2 |
The total number of quality points (81.2) divided by the total number of attempted credits (30) yields a grade point average of 2.70.
