Convert each course letter grade to a grade point value (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.)
If a course uses weights, multiply the grade point value by the course credit hours
Add all weighted grade points together
Add all credit hours together
Divide total weighted grade points by total credit hours
If using an unweighted GPA, use the same method but treat every course as if it has equal weight (or use credit hours only if required by your school)
If your school drops failed courses or excludes certain courses, include only the courses your school counts
If your school uses different scales (4.0, 5.0, plus/minus), use the exact scale required
Report the result to your school’s required decimal format (e.g., one or two decimals)
