Grade Point Average (GPA)
The GPA is derived by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of semester credit hours attempted (not including AU, I, P, CR, W, WM, WS) for which grades have been received. The average is based on all semester and term coursework.
Calculating the GPA:
- Multiply the number of semester credit hours each course is worth by the quality points earned.
- Add these values.
- Divide this sum by the number of semester credit hours attempted.
