Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation and Definitions
The GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) is calculated by multiplying the credits for each course by the quality points associated with the grade earned, totaling the points earned for all courses, and dividing the total points by the total number of credit attempts.
All grades will be assigned based on a 4.0 grading scale.
Quality Points are assigned to each letter grade.
- A = 4.0 quality points
- B = 3.0 quality points
- C = 2.0 quality points
- D = 1 quality point
- F = 0 quality points
The assigned values for the grades are A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F= 0. (D & F are unacceptable credits in a course; therefore, those grades do not satisfy the graduation requirements)
| Class Code | Course Title | Hours Attempted | Grade | Grade Value | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MATH 1013 | Algebra Concepts | 3 | A | 4 | 12 |
| ENGL 1010 | English | 3 | B | 3 | 9 |
| ACCT 1100 | Financial Accounting | 4 | F | 0 | 0 |
| EMPL 1000 | Interpersonal Relations & Professional Development | 2 | C | 2 | 4 |
For example, 25.0 Total Quality Points divided by 12.0 Hours Attempted equals a GPA of 2.08
