Calculation of your Semester GPA
Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total amount of quality points earned by the total amount of quality point credits attempted. Your grade point average may range from 0.0 to a 4.0. Grades have the following point values:
A = 4.0 B+ = 3.5 B = 3.0 C+ = 2.5 C = 2.0 D = 1.0 E = 0 F = 0
| Course | Credit Hours | Grade | Calculation | Grade Points |
| BIO 101 | 4 | A | 4 x 4.0 = 16 | 16 |
| WRT 101 | 3 | C | 3 x 2.0 = 6 | 6 |
| MAT 160 | 4 | F | 4 x 0.0 = 0 | 0 |
| PSY 101 | 3 | B | 3 x 3.0 = 9 | 9 |
