How To Calculate GPA?

Collect course grades and credit hours (or unit weights) for all completed courses

Convert each letter grade to a grade-point value using your school’s scale (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.)

Multiply each course’s grade-point value by its credit hours

Add all resulting quality points to get total quality points

Add all credit hours attempted (or completed, depending on your school’s rule) to get total credit hours

Divide total quality points by total credit hours to get GPA

If your school uses weighted GPA, multiply grade points by the course’s weighting factor before adding to total quality points

If your school excludes certain courses (e.g., pass/fail, repeats, withdrawals), omit them according to the school’s policy

Report the GPA on the required scale (commonly 4.0, or weighted on a different scale)
