Follow
these steps:
- Compute the total number of
credits attempted for the semester - Example
= 16 Credits Attempted
- Compute the total number of
points for each course: Multiply the credits
for each course x the points for each
course grade - Example: BUS 101 = 3 credits
x 4 points
(A grade) = 12 total Quality Points
- Divide the total number of
Quality Points for the semester by / the
total number of Credits Attempted for
the semester - Example = 42 Quality Points
/ 1 Credits Attempted = 2.625 Semester
G.P.A.
- Cumulative G.P.A. (all semesters)
