Step 1. List each course and the grade earned. Consult the above chart to determine the point value for each grade. Add the total number of credits received.

Step 2. Divide the total grade points received by the number of credits attempted.  This is your GPA.

 

Example

Speech

 

A

=

2.000

 

Geom. AC

 

B

=

1.665

 

Biology

 

C

=

1.000

 

Phys. Ed.

 

B

=

1.500

 

Wld. Hist.

 

D

=

0.500

 

Typ. 1

 

B-

=

1.335

Totals

Credits= 3.00

 

Points

=

8.000

 

GPA= Points/Credits

     = 8.000/3.000

     = 2.666

 

Letter Grade Values are:

 A = 4.000  B = 3.000  C = 2.000  D = 1.000  E = 0.000

Therefore a GPA of 2.666 is approximately a C+ on a 4.000 scale.
